[Kit Plummer]

Having worked with a couple of Enterprise Library Systems I don't see
why we would need Marc record support.  Marc records are for libraries
to purchase and catalog books, periodicals, and video and audio media on
a standard.  Given the quantity of books we would be looking at it
probably isn't a necessity.
