WebExport - MARC Records

The Instructional Resources Unit (IRU) of Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth provides complimentary delivery of customized MARC records from its library database to school libraries in Manitoba.  This service enables the Manitoba school library community to benefit from and make a better use of the IRU resources. The MARC records in the IRU database are mainly in English.  To access MARC records for French material, please contact Direction des ressources educatives françaises (DREF).

The MARC records are exported in predefined standard tags.  To see the list of tags, (Adobe Image 12 KB) click the link.  Note that all records meet the above MARC tag format.  To register for access to MARC records, please send email to: H. Sam Davoodifar.
