About the Author

Deborah A. Fritz is the co-owner of The MARC of Quality, a Florida-based company that provides training, software, and database services to help librarians create better MARC records. Formerly a cataloging trainer at a multitype library consortium and a cataloger at various libraries, she currently teaches an extensive array of cataloging workshops around the United States. She is the author of Cataloging with AACR2 and USMARC: For Books, Computer Files, Serials, Sound Recofrdings and Videorecordings (ALA, 1999). She is co-developer of several MARC processing programs, including MARC Report and MARC Global. Fritz earned her master's degree in library science at the University of Toronto.

Richard J. Fritz is the other half of The MARC of Quality. Formerly a library systems administrator for a medium-sized school district and, before that, in charge of authority control cleanup at a large bibliographic utility, his professional career has always involved MARC database processing in some capacity. His current work includes designing MARC processing software MARC Report and MARC Global for use by the library community and for in-house processing. He earned his library degree at the University of Toronto and also holds two other master's degrees.
