Ready-to-Use MARC Records
Your professionally cataloged MARC record can be downloaded directly into a library’s local catalog—saving librarians time and making it easier to add your book to their collection.
Built for Discoverability
We go beyond basic PCIP information by adding all appropriate subject headings, helping your book appear in more relevant catalog searches.
Added to WorldCat and SkyRiver
Your PCIP record will also be uploaded to OCLC WorldCat and SkyRiver, two of the world’s largest bibliographic databases. This makes it easier for librarians and booksellers to find accurate cataloging information and add your book to their systems.
Records are uploaded by the third of each month and are generally available in the bibliographic utilities within two weeks.
