This memorandum provides a mechanism for representing objects which

formats are standards for the representation and communication of
bibliographic and related information.  A MARC record contains
metadata for an information resource following MARC format
specifications.

This memo provides information for the Internet community.  It does
not specify an Internet standard of any kind.  Distribution of this
memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list

added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should
