For those of you who do not know, I broke my leg just before the holidays and have spent the last 38 days in a full leg cast. With limited mobility my activities have been cut down giving me more time to read course content. As a result, I have read up to module six!
Module six introduced me to one of the most confusing systems....MARC! After reading through the online descriptions I am absolutely overwhelmed by the coding of the MARC system. I'm sure glad that the CIP or Library of Congress make up these codes and that a computer has to read this information because if it was up to me I would be lost! Obviously MARC works, but there has to be a system that is easier for the human brain to process as well as a computer!
Just my thoughts on MARC. When the time comes I look forward to discussing it in detail.
