What MARC records are included?
The MARC records available are based on each current issue of the British Columbia Publications Monthly Checklist. The records are a subset of the Monthly Checklist, and not an exact equivalent. The MARC records include only the records for publications which have electronic formats, a copy of which has been captured and stored in the Legislative Library’s electronic publications collection. As such the file excludes all priced publications, as in priced serials such as annual Sessional serials (e.g. Statutes, Journals, Debates) and annual priced serials (e.g. Current Index of BC Regulations, Public Accounts, Estimates) and subscription serials (e.g. British Columbia Gazette), which are listed in the Monthly Checklist to indicate availability, stock numbers and price changes. Some of the MARC records include enhanced content such as news releases, backgrounders and other types of supplements. Records with enhanced content will include additional 856 URLs to the supplementary material.
