Abstract

A project to convert and make available current MARC records in a local online file is described. The University of Calgary Libraries use the IBM DOBIS integrated library system to support Acquisitions, Cataloguing, Circulation, and the Online catalogue. Rather than deriving cataloguing copy from a network or bibliographic utility, the library subscribes to the National Library's Canadian MARC Record Distribution Services, mounts the records on DOBIS and transfers them for ordering/cataloguing purposes.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
