Magic Match for Lexile® adds the most current Lexile measures to your MARC database – quickly and accurately.

The importance of accuracy in matching your circulating inventory to the Lexile database cannot be understated. Correctly matched data is vital to the successful implementation of the Lexile system.

What can I do to get the highest possible matches?

Besides the actual inventory of your library, the quality of your MARC records is the single, greatest factor in the resulting match rate for Lexile scores. We would encourage you to first optimize your database with the tools provided in the MARC Wizard.
