Data exchange formatting -
MARC is not a useful format unless specifically demanded by a supplier. Data can be extracted in tagged and delimited formats readily exported from LMS or other logs. However libraries may consider publishing their bibliographic data in formats more accessible to developers; for example, the JISC MOSAIC project recommended an XML- based schema.
