Integration of Logos (MARC - Records )

SAIACS Library

Dear Colleagues,

I wonder whether someone has tried integrating bibliographic records of Logos 4 with library catalogue. I am interested in getting Machine Readable Catalogue (MARC) records for Logos 4 and import them. This will help the library patrons to know the resources available in logos. 

Of course, Logos has got its own search facilities. I am very much interested in getting some interface done so that students could easily find them in logos or print or any other sources.

Please help me in this.

thanks

If I understand you correctly you want whichever resources are in Logos to also show up in your library's catalogue database. So for example if the book in the Logos Library with the title Eschatology 101 and a student searched for "eschatology" the book would show up and be labeled as a Logos resource. Then the student would know to check the computer where Logos was installed instead of the print books in the library collection. 

Are you wanting an automated way to accomplish this?

You might want to email Logos directly. The majority of Logos users are individuals who use it for Bible study (both clergy and laity) and not librarians. I believe on Logos website has both contact information by email. They also have a toll free number you could use with Skype to make the call for free.
