Learn more about our Mitinet ser= vices if you're interested in easy MARC record cleanup and enhance= ment with Alexandria utilities.
Mitinet is a third-party service that helps libraries get materials in t= he hands of patrons through better MARC records. They take your MARC record= s, streamline and enhance them, then send them back to you. Here are a few = of the improvements they can make:
Visit the Mitinet Library Services website to learn more about wh= at they can do for you.
Let's get started!
Exporting records will create a copy of your database and will not=
em> interrupt your circulation. Changes to the records will be seen once yo=
u import the records back into Alexandria.
Changes to title records made after ex= port but before import will be lost.
Once you've exported your records, do not add, change or delete any reco= rds from your database until after your records have been updated and you'v= e imported them back into your database.
Once you have the updated record file from Mitinet, you can import the f=
ile to update your library records. The import process will eliminate dupli=
cate titles and merge record data from titles being removed into titles bei=
ng retained. This data includes copy records, title statistics, pending hol=
ds, accession date, modification date (right now), and last used date.

Remember to back up your library before importing a Mitinet record updat= e in case you need to start over. Read Back Up Your Data for more information.
And that's it! You can view details about what data was merged and what = couldn't be updated in the import summary file located in Operation Managem= ent.
