Subject:      WEB catalogs that handle MARC records
To: Multiple recipients of list WEBCAT-L <mailto:WEBCAT-L@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU>


The Vermont State Archives is interested in putting its catalog on
the Secretary of States WEB site.  The Deputy Secretary of State
wants more information on the following subject:


    1. Is there software (shareware, freeware, commercial) available
for converting MARC records into HTML (2.0) markup so that they can
be accessed through the web?


    2.  What type of search engines (shareware, freeware, commercial)
are available to allow catalog searches?


    3.  What are the pitfalls to watch out for?


    4. What is the best design approach to take to ensure a robust
working catalog?


Thank you for any information you can provide.
