UNIMARC

UNIMARC, which stands for Universal Machine-Readable Cataloging, is a standardized system for organizing and sharing bibliographic information about library materials. It provides a consistent format for describing books, journals, and other resources, making it easier for libraries worldwide to exchange, search, and manage catalog data efficiently. Think of it as a universal language that allows different library systems to understand and work with each other’s records seamlessly, ultimately helping users find and access materials across various institutions more effectively.
