Is there a full-featured ILS that is not based on MARC records? I know we love complexity, but it seems to me that my public library and its library network and maybe even every public library could probably do without 95% of MARC Fields and encoding, streamline workflows and save $ if there were a simpler standard. Is this what an Endeca-based system is about, or do those rare birds also use MARC in the background?
