MARC Records Report

The MARC Import Results reports can be used to search for titles that are in your school's collection and make it easier for you to match your books to the quizzes you own or need to order in AR BookGuide. After you import your MARC records from your library circulation system into BookGuide 3.x, AR BookGuide separates the titles in the import into either Matching records or Non-matching records, based on whether or not the titles in your MARC record import match the titles housed in AR BookGuide.

Usually, if a book in your collection does not match a Reading Practice Quiz in the AR BookGuide database, there is either no quiz for that book, or the quiz was based on an earlier edition of the book in your collection. If the book in your collection is a revision of one used to create an AR quiz, you’ll have to mark that book "Have Book" manually. See Marking Books and Quizzes for more information.

After a successful MARC record import and when you are ready to print the MARC Record Import Results report, you can choose to view either the Matching or Non-matching records. The report will open in Adobe Reader where you can print and/or save it for later use. See Checking Import History and Printing Results for more information about printing these reports.
