Multimedia vendor
ATC is committed to offering the very
best and broadest possible coverage of the
region. This means that we do not limit
our offerings to books, but also provide
comprehensive periodical coverage. With
over 4,000 periodical titles, we are the
most comprehensive Eurasian periodical
distributor on the market. We also provide
back issues when requested and whenever
available. And we can hunt down
hard-to-find titles for you. Best of all:
with prices guaranteed to be lower than
those of any other North American vendor,
we can help bring you significant savings.
Why pay twice the price with other vendors
when instead you can receive our
periodicals at reasonable rates, with
impeccable service? What could make more
sense than that?
MARC
records
Bibliographic records in MARC format
are available with all books provided by
ATC. These are issued free of charge upon
request, and are available with any book
we distribute . Our MARC records, which
are created according to AACR2 standards
by professionally trained catalogers,
adhere to the highest standards of
quality. These records can be used by both
acquisitions departments and cataloging
departments to decrease processing time
for books acquired from ATC. Receive our
MARC records on disk, with your shipments,
or through our website at the time of
ordering. Now you can upload our records
into your system with one touch of a
button! See for yourself what other
leading libraries have known for years:
that ATC MARC records save you time and
money, freeing up your resources for more
important work.
Special requests/Searches
Do you have a hard-to-find search
request? Let our experienced overseas
staff hunt it down for you. We offer this
service at no extra charge, and our
network of publishers and used book stores
gives us a high success rate in our
searches for hard to find or out of print
books.
