What is eMARC Express?

Maximise your E-Holdings

Specially created for libraries that purchase e-materials in quantity, eMARC Express provides timely delivery of matching bibliographic records for loading into local library systems. In addition to high quality records and exceptional coverage, eMARC Express’s low cost puts time and money back into library operations while allowing the library to maximize the visibility of e-holdings in their library catalogs and discovery products.

eMARC Express currently provides MARC files for 3M™ Cloud Library and OverDrive® orders. Your library doesn’t need to be a SkyRiver subscriber to participate – any library can benefit from eMARC Express. Simply fill out the account setup form and submit it to eMARC Express. And, to make it as easy as possible, we’ve developed the following simple routines:

OverDrive®

The library completes the eMARC Express application form on the SkyRiver web site and receives an eMARC Express account number by return email. After account set up, subsequent transmission of metadata is simply done via email ([email protected]) The library chooses the option to generate a metadata spreadsheet for each order placed with OverDrive®. OverDrive® emails the spreadsheet to the library where it can be checked and then forwarded to eMARC Express. The spreadsheet metadata are run against the SkyRiver database and corresponding MARC records are derived or created. The Library then receives the matching file of MARC records by email.

3M™ Cloud Library

The library completes the eMARC Express application form on the SkyRiver web site and includes its 3M Cloud Library billing ID, which is listed on the library’s monthly Cloud Library invoice. Using the 3M Cloud Library API, eMARC Express extracts the relevant metadata matching the library’s order, runs it against the SkyRiver database and corresponding MARC records are derived or created. The Library then receives the matching file of MARC records by email.

Delivery commitment: Within 3 days of receipt of metadata/report from the library
