MARC records: Each libraries is to designate a MARC record contact. This person will be set up with a profile that allows them to download the records from the NFB/ONF website. Additional library staff can be set up with access to MARC records. They must first create a user profile. Once the profile is set up, the primary eresource contact at the library can write to Chantale Turgeon (C.Turgeon@nfb.ca) with the user’s name and email address, asking that MARC records are activated for their user profile.
