The LC MARC-Books database contains complete bibliographic records for all books cataloged by the U.S. Library of Congress since 1968, beginning with books in English and adding coverage of books in other languages from 1970 through 1979. The LC MARC-Books database provides online access to a comprehensive, worldwide collection of books that can be searched by author, title, subject, series, publication date, and other access points using the same searching capabilities of the DIALOG system that are available for all other databases.
The LC MARC database also provides a powerful capability to library acquisitions and cataloging departments for bibliographic verification and cataloging. MARC records are available both as normal TYPEd or PRINTed DIALOG output and in machine readable tape form.
The content of LC MARC comes from the U.S. Library of Congress Cataloging Distribution Service.
All books, maps, monographs, and other materials indexed in the database are classified using the Library of Congress Classification System.
