'''MARC''' is a standard for formatting records for cataloging and bibliographic records, used in the library field. It governs the overall structure of the records, with content details being governed by other standards such as the [[Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules]]. MARC has been around since the 1960s, and is widely regarded as archaic and inconvenient, but it is difficult to dislodge due to the huge amount of legacy data in this format.

MARC records are traditionally stored in binary [[ISO 2709]] files, but there is also an [[XML]] schema available for it.
