Core webinar: Using MatchMARC

Date: Tuesday, January 12, 2021

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description: This webinar will show users how to leverage the free Google
Sheets Add-on called MatchMARC to retrieve OCLC records based on user
criteria. Advantages of using MatchMARC over OCLC’s Connexion will be
highlighted. Examples of workflows made possible by the spreadsheet
environment and MARC record delivery will be given. OCLC membership is
needed to use this tool.

MatchMARC is a tool written by presenter Michelle Suranofsky. It was
initially designed for a specific cataloging project in 2018. Since then
its functionality has expanded for broader use cases at Lehigh University
and other university library users who have made requests.
