Where can I find a 360 MARC Updates User Guide to help me administer the service?

The 360 MARC Updates service provides MARC records for electronic resources available through full-text aggregators at your institution. You may select to include only e-serials, only ebooks, or both types of resources in your 360 MARC Updates subscription.

The 360 MARC Updates User Guide is intended specifically for the librarian in charge of administering and maintaining the MARC Records updating service. Additionally, anyone interested in learning more about e-resource MARC records will benefit from reading about how the service works.

This 360 MARC Updates User Guide outline below contains links to information throughout the Support Center.
