Follett offers complete cataloging data as specified by the Library of Congress in MARC21 (formerly called USMARC) and MicroLIF formats for all titles. Both formats are enhanced with complete annotations, either Library of Congress or Sears Subject Headings, or both, and shelflist information including reading level (if applicable), interest level, and review sources.

Electronic Data Services

Follett’s electronic data supports all commercially produced circulation and online catalog systems. All Follett Software Company’s Webpath Express (formerly called 856Express!") subscribers receive catalog records that include web links – automatically and at no extra charge. Follett will include the Lexile measure (supplied by MetaMetrics) on catalog records at your request.

Receive MARC Records Online Via TITLEWAVE

With our online delivery of MARC Records on TITLEWAVE, you have access to your MARC records just as soon as your shipment leaves the warehouse. It’s a fast and easy way to integrate your new MARC records into your OPAC. This option is available to all registered TITLEWAVE users.

Shelflist Cards

Follett’s shelflist cards feature ISBN, accession or bar code number, interest level, reading level, purchase price and date, review sources with dates (from 1995 on), LC number, funding code, and invoice number.

Accelerated Reader® Cataloging

With Follett’s Accelerated Reader 526 tag in the catalog record, it is easy to search for Accelerated Reader books if your library’s electronic circulation system supports the tag. This tag includes the reading program name, reading level, point value, quiz number, and holding code (if your library is a member of a union catalog).

Reading Counts™ Cataloging

With Follett’s Reading Counts 526 tag in the catalog record, it is easy to search for Reading Counts books if your library’s electronic system supports the 526 tag. This tag includes the reading program name, reading level, point value, and holding code (if your library is a member of a union catalog). Follett’s Reading Counts cataloging also inserts the Lexile measure (if available) in a 521 tag.
