Considering a New Vendor
When considering a new vendor, there are a few questions that are useful to ask. You can also forward this page, in the hopes that it may clarify any questions that they might have.
MARC Records
There are only a few vendors that are allowed to do outsourced cataloging for PINES libraries. The list of approved vendors is here.
If the vendor in question is not on the list, they will not be doing cataloging for the library.
The library only needs brief MARC records purely to load into the Acquisitions system. The library may also be considering getting processing done, but as far as MARC records it is a much more limited request.

PINES uses the 962 field to import price, quantity and holdings information into Evergreen.
