Marcive FAQ 1

What is Marcive: Marcive is a company that provides cataloging records. The IU subscription with Marcive provides catalog records for federal documents from the U.S. Government Printing Office. All records will have SuDocs Classification Numbers.

Notes: Covers only U.S. Documents (no state or International)Serials are excluded

(but a few sneak in when first issued as monographs.)Covers only materials since October 2000.

Marcive FAQ 2

• What is received: SLS, Ongoing Full Records and Changed “Electronic only” records* SLS records are brief, provisional records for new items. SLS stands for

Shipping List Service because the records cover specific shipping lists of depository items. SLS records arrive weekly for print, microfiche, and tangible electronic products, such as CD-ROMs. http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs/fdlp/shippinglists/2001-0004-p.pdf

* Ongoing Full Records replace the SLS records. Files come Monthly and will be loaded into IUCAT, overlaying the SLS records. Clean-up to remove duplicate records will need to be completed, especially with initial loads.* Changed “Electronic only” records will be received in a separate file and update records with electronic addresses, PERLs. Note: We’ve not dealt with these yet—so procedures are forthcoming.
