By allowing Brodart to complete the tedious details of cataloging and processing new materials, the library speeds it's new material into circulation.
New titles get into the hands of patrons or students faster.
Since the processing is already done, librarians have more time for other valuable activities. Best of all, Brodart's technical services are more cost effective than librarians performing the tasks themselves or purchasing cataloging from other sources. Brodart's extensive cataloging database consists of over 10 million records. Cataloging and processing options are the most flexible and affordable available, yet they still maintain a high level of simplicity in choosing and effecting the many options. A library may choose the Dewey or LC classifications to meet its requirements.
