Abstract
"MARC is a label attached to an increasing variety of formats containing machine- readable cataloging information. However, MARC is first and foremost a format for interchange of bibliographic information, and BNB MARC and MARC II derive from the proposed ''USA Standard for a Format for Bibliographic Information Interchange on Magnetic Tape."" 1 If a format is to bear the label MARC it should have the capability of generating a standard communication format derived from the USA standard."
