9xx MARC Ordering

Midwest Tape works with all major Integrated Library Systems (ILS), such as Innovative, Horizon, Sirsi, Polaris, and Carl, to streamline the creation of order records by adding 9xx tags to Midwest Tape downloadable vendor records. There is no charge for the programming of these tags or the downloading of vendor records.

9xx ordering saves you and your library time.

We can populate your vendor records to show such information as specified funds, locations, and collection codes. You won't have to enter any of this information manually.

Eliminate manually creating orders in your system.

Using information you provide, we will program the additional order record tags attached to your downloaded vendor records. These order record tags vary by ILS, but the tag itself is usually found in the 900s. This 9xx tag will carry whatever fund (budget), location, collection code, pricing information, and note fields you need.

We can also program any needed static data into other such user-defined tags as 092, 099, and 590. For example, if you need a tag to always read "DVD on Order" for all DVD titles, we can set that up for you.

Our robust vendor records are always free.

You can download vendor records as often as needed and modify them to include or exclude individual tags. Once you have downloaded the order into your system, you can continue to order via the web, or we can set up electronic (EDIFACT/X12) ordering for you to place your orders with us via FTP (Internet File Transfer Protocol). Electronic invoicing is also an option when ordering via FTP. (Please see the whitepaper entitled "Electronic Ordering & Invoicing with EDI" for more information.)

Learn more about 9xx ordering with these systems or contact Marin Lindsay at MLindsay@midwesttapes.com with any questions.

We support innovative, Horizon, Sirsi, Polaris, and others.
