MARC records


MARC 21 records can be downloaded here by library professionals free of charge. Choose to download records for all titles in Oxford Reference Online Collections, or for titles published in a particular month or months.

Important note regarding availability of MARC records: MARC records are provided if available to OUP through the Library of Congress records. There are however a number of siutations in which the Library of Congress will not have a record for a title in ORO:
  1. With a recent title, the cataloging data may not have made it into the Library of Congress records. In this siutation we will continue to try to source the record and provide in a later update.
  2. With an older title, it may be that the cataloging information was never submitted to the Library of Congress.
  3. If a title does not have an OUP print equivalent (for example, Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages, New Encyclopedia of Birds / Underwater Life, World Encyclopedia, World Flags, and World Maps), then we do not provide a MARC record.
In both the latter situations we are unable to provide the record.
