Hello fellow cataloguers.

I work in a government library and we are considering changing over
from UKMARC to MARC21. Our collection is fairly small and specialist
and we do not catalogue to the nth degree. Also we do not use Library
of Congress Subject Headings. I think it doubtful therefore that we
will ever wish to share our records with other libraries (and I doubt
if they would want them!), also I think it unlikely that we would want
to download records from any other libraries. Are there any good
reasons to change over to MARC 21 other than the ability to share
records ebtween catalogues? I have tried in vain to find any on the web
and thought someone on here might be able to point me in the right
direction or give me their own personal views. Has anyone here been
through the process of changing and can tell me what to expect?

Thanks very much.
