Why is the Legislative Library making MARC records available for electronic British Columbia government publications?
Libraries can currently import the Legislative Library’s MARC records individually using the Z39.50 protocol for importing bibliographic records. (http://www.llbc.leg.bc.ca/z3950.htm ) The batch MARC records batch service expands this current record-by-record service, enabling libraries to import MARC records directly into their own integrated library systems. These records include permanent links to the publications stored in the Legislative Library’s electronic publications collection.
