About MARC Editing

MARC records make it possible for a computer to read and display data about items you have in your library collection. Creating or editing a MARC record requires that you understand the components of a MARC record. Once you do, you can use Horizon’s MARC Editor just like a word processor to change the text or delimiters that make up a MARC record.

This chapter includes general information about how you use Horizon MARC records. More specific information is given in later chapters, depending on the kind of record that you are working with. (For example, you find information about MARC authority records in the Authority Records chapter.)
