Basic importing instructions

1. Download
Click on the appropriate link above to download your records in a ZIP file.
Note: If you are experiencing problems downloading MARC records for XP and Vista library systems using the internet browser Chrome, please try another internet browser like Firefox (Mac) or Windows (PC).

2. Open Zip or Folder
Depending on your computer, the ZIP file will either open or prompt you to open it. Once the ZIP file is open, its folder contains two files: a Data Kit Report (.xls) and MARC records microlif file (microlif.001 OR microfilm.mrc).
 
3. Locate microlif file
Save or move the microlif file to your desktop, or a folder where it can be easily found.

4. Import microlif file through OPAC software
Use your OPAC software to import the the microlif file from your desktop or folder. Do not try to open the microlif file without OPAC software. This file can only be opened with OPAC software.
If your eBooks show “No Copies,” you should assign a barcode number to each title.

Please reply back to us confirming that you have received the microlif file. Contact the Abdo Digital Service Team or call 800-800-1312 for assistance.
 ABDO has the software to create the MARC records, NOT the software to import the records.

If needed, please contact your software company for further importing instructions.
