Thank you. I would be more interested in a system which harvests MARC records from IMDb. There is a much larger oercentage of records for motion pictures acquired as DVDs by libraies lacking MARC records, to be found on IMDb, than library books lacking MARC records to be found on Amazon. The national cataloguing agencies do a much better job of covering print than nonbook media. __ __ J.
