Accessing MARC Records for DRAM

The collection of DRAM records can be harvested as MARC21 from our online public access server via Z39.50. Our database properties follow below:

Host: library.dramonline.org
Database: biblios
Port: 7090
Syntax: MARC21

Our Z39.50 server credentials are also hosted on Index Data's IRSpy.

We recommend using MarcEdit to access our records though command line clients such as Index Data's Yaz toolkit or those packaged with enterprise-ILS systems are perfectly fine.

The DRAM record set is also available for download via the links below:
