What Our Customers Say
I am so excited…I managed to use Regular expressions to parse a subfield and move the contents to another subfield! You are probably the only people who would understand how really cool and time saving this is! So, I wanted to share. 🙂

The records are amazing – but, we really shouldn’t say ‘cleaned records’, we should say ‘all new MARC records’ because that is really what they are. I know the library tech who handles the middle and high school at Dixon USD is thrilled with being able to find titles because there are now subject headings. What a concept!

Mitinet has one of the best RDA conversion services we have seen.

Mitinet is used by many of our Mandarin schools to support the NYSED Passage Selection Guidelines for Accessing CCSS ELA by placing not only Lexile, but Fountas and Pinnell and Accelerated Reader into MARC records to offer multiple indicators of text complexity. And, they are updated as often as the school chooses to run them.

Mandarin Library Automation/Mitinet Library Services
My school district consists of 27 schools and has been using Mitinet’s support for two years. Our district’s media coordinators find their services extremely valuable for saving time & money. Twice each year, Mitinet updates Accelerated Reader information, Lexile levels, and subject headings for our district catalog. Last year, several schools asked Mitinet to standardize call numbers in all of their copy records. This was completed for the schools in less than two days — amazing! I have been extremely happy with Mitinet!

I’ve really loved using BestMARC. I like having the ability to build my own workflows that batch edit records to my specifications. The customer support has been amazing. They provided great training when they rolled out BestMARC and then after they have been very responsive when I’ve had questions. I use BestMARC pretty much every day and I could not be happier with it.

Mitinet provides a very cost-effective statewide solution for INFOhio’s school libraries to enhance MARC records in their local catalogs. The addition of Lexile information is especially critical, as schools are trying to meet the instructional shifts of new learning standards which call for students to increase the complexity of text they read. Used with an existing reading program or on its own, Mitinet’s text difficulty rating helps students find books at their reading level while giving teachers an easy way to find books to stretch a student’s skills. A definite win-win situation!

We provide software support to several hundred K-12 Libraries in northeast Ohio. To those who want to update their MARC records with reading-level data, we always recommend subscribing to Mitinet Library Services. The service is both timely and cost-effective, their process is proven, and the results are impressive. We seldom recommend vendors to our library customers, but Mitinet is an exception.

As I previewed software last year to use for my course at Mansfield, it became crystal clear that BestMARC is eons in front of the competition for either beginning catalogers or practicing librarians. I could not have chosen a better way for our students to learn cataloging with the MARC record. And, I cannot say enough about the cooperation and service provided by Mitinet.

BestMARC is a lifesaver! I can run global edits on import, which saves time and effort and helps keep my records uniform. The z39.50 search feature saves time by easily importing and modifying records from other libraries. With the templates, I can quickly create new records.

All of Mitinet’s services are so great. We put 7,000 new materials into Destiny for our 13 schools during the last year and we could not have done this if we didn’t have Mitinet and their magic wands. It would take over twice as long to do our MARC editing directly in Destiny. I’ve been using Mitinet products for two decades now.

I hear a lot of librarians say Mitinet does what they say they will do — make Lexile numbers go into the MARC records seamlessly. Since I don’t have access to my own MARC records, I can’t speak to that. What I can tell you is Mitinet is flexible and understanding of client’s needs even when it doesn’t align to what they normally do. Honestly, the best decision I made as a new teacher librarian was talking to Justin from Mitinet!

MITNET provides a service not available in our Integrated Library Solution, Follett Destiny. The Library Solution is designed for management and circulation. When we receive records from our vendors, they are not [ready] for our Integrated Library Solution. We cannot edit the records sufficiently in the Integrated Library Solution so we use MITINET’s product, BestMARC to complete the work needed. The product enables changes to keep the data clean and readily accessible for our staff and students.
Last year we used MARC Magician to clean and edit our records before entry into our catalog. With BestMARC’s Global Changes and Workflows, I believe my productivity has gone up close to 30%.
Tara Hoopes
Digital Resources and Systems Librarian
I have been working remotely since March 2020 and am so grateful to have BestMARC! The web-based platform has been a lifesaver and the old Marc Magician client would not have been accessible during this crazy time.

I have been a customer of Mitinet for many years and they are an outstanding company.
