Summary:This online publication provides access to both the full and concise versions of the MARC 21 Format for Classification Data.

Published:Print began in 2000.
Item Description:Online versions of both the full and concise MARC formats were made available in 2008, when it was determined by the Library of Congress that the online versions would be the version of record, and the print a byproduct produced after the online version. The Network Development and MARC Standards Office ceased producing the full format in print in 2011--MARC listserv, June 1, 2011.
