I just want you to know how much you have boosted my confidence and built my enthusiasm for getting some cataloging done - and soon, too.

Carol Siefker, EMMS Librarian
El Paso, Texas

Since we have started using the MarcWizard program we no longer have carts or shelves of new books waiting for us to process.

I would recommend this program to anyone that has more than a few books each year to process themselves.

Of all the tools available to librarians out there today, I have found MARC Magician to be the most useful in helping to make our catalog as accurate as possible.

It is user friendly and the technical support is helpful and gets back to you in a timely matter.

I just cataloged 7 books in about 10 minutes with the MARC Wizard. That was the first time, too!

It is so easy and user friendly.

I’ve been working in our school libraries for almost 20 years.

This is the first school year that we’ve had access to the MarcWizard and I LOVE it!

I wouldn't want to try to keep MARC records clean and accurate without all that the WIZARD does for us.

I know I can turn to the WIZARD and get fast results. This is one budget item that I list as top priority at all the districts I work.

Gail Thompson, Librarian
Big Country Library Media Cooperative, Texas

Using MARC Magician makes everything very manageable and I would highly recommend it to anyone. It is the best time saver available today.

I am proud to say that our entire school district of 90+ schools is happily using this program.

MARC Wizard. It’s fantastic. It is really fantastic. It is really worth the money.

It saves a lot of time.

I should have done this sooner.

Roberta Comer Guajardo
Library Manager
St. Mary Magdalen School

I appreciate the thoroughness of each entry and the vast selection of books, videos, etc. available at our fingertips!

I like the capability of editing as desired before an entry is offered for import to our system.

This program has given me more time to do what I was hired to do – teach.

MARC Wizard is terrific.

Debra Flynn
Molt Elementary School

Cataloging new books has always been a very time consuming task, and time is something that we never have enough of.

By using the MarcWizard program this year we have been able to process more new books and get them into our collections to give our students access to these new books than ever before.

I started using MARC Wizard to process materials for the library a few years ago. It has cut my processing time in half.

MARC Wizard is the best investment I ever made! The cost is minimal compared to the services you receive...

It is one of the best software programs that I have purchased. A great value for the money!!

[MARC On Demand] is the best bang for the buck around. The cost is minimal and the information is priceless.

I hope I never have to be without it.

Marc Wizard does what I don't have time to do. It's an amazing tool that not only works great, but also is very affordable.

I love it!

Tim Baker, MLS

Your product was (and still is) eons in front of the competition for beginning catalogers and practicing librarians as well.

I could not have picked a better resource for our students to learn cataloging with the MARC record.

Candy Blessing
Library Media Specialist
Ephrata High School
Mansfield University of Pennsylvania

The cost of MARC Wizard is relatively inexpensive, especially for the features it provides and the time it has saved us.

We have come to rely on it extensively and think it is a wise investment of our school library funds.

Susan Bontly, Librarian
Desert View Elementary

It’s a librarian’s dream come true.

I was facing a long and tedious editing project before I received the Magician. With the Magician, I accomplished the editing in about five minutes.

Jan Thomas

I love how you can go along and stop at a point and leave it and go back without messing things up. WOW!

I think I might actually reach my goal of getting my books processed this year!

It’s the most user friendly cataloging tool out there!

Kathy Hirsch
Red Bluff ISD

After purchasing a new on-line automation system and merging our 80+ libraries into a union catalog for the first time, we were disappointed that there seemed to be endless duplicates, errors, etc...

Even though we paid to have our records cleaned by Follett, the conversion left us with a catalog that was nearly impossible to use.

Within months it became apparent that something more needed to be done.

Mitinet was an absolute life saver.
