Library of Congress TOC data

Libraries Australia has recently completed the base load of Library of Congress Table of Contents (TOC) data. This project has taken the innovative approach of harvesting the TOC from the Library of Congress web site, reformatting it to create MARC 505 fields, and then adding it to matching Australian National Bibliographic Database (ANBD) records. As a result of the project over 240,000 ANBD records have been enhanced with TOC. Libraries Australia will now implement a regular monthly harvest of new LC TOC data. Libraries can request a file of their ANBD records that have been enhanced with LC TOC data by contacting the Help Desk. Some example records are: AN 186, AN 45823651, AN 9078914, AN 9078918 and AN 26323573.
