Downloading MARC records for your GVRL eBooks

To access to your GVRL MARC records click on the following link:
http://access.gale.com/cgi-bin/marc_merge/listfiles.pl
The following page will appear:






Insert your Location ID
Leave all other fields blank


Click Continue



The following screen will appear with all your eBook purchases
Click Uncheck all

Tick the boxes  you require MARC records for


Click Merge selected records

This step may take a few minutes based on system speed and amount of files to download but you should then see the following page








Right click Download records and save ib a folder as a marc file (.mrc)

The records should be ready to upload into your library management system.  If you need assistance doing this I would advise speaking to your LMS vendor.

You should not need to alter your eBook URLs, however if you do need to alter the record prior to uploading in your LMS; the following free MARC edit program is available to download.
