There are two types of MARC records available for Alexander Street Products: Product-Level Records (for each product as a whole), and Book-Level Records (for the items within each product). You will need to choose the type of record you want to retrieve from this page and then the specific set of records from the listing on the page for that type..
Note that not all products have MARC records yet. We are currently prioritizing previously released products. To see when we will be posting any MARC records not listed here, please check our schedule here.

Book-Level MARC Records

This page contains sets of MARC records for individual items in Alexander Street Press products. Each book, play, manuscript, video, or audio source will have a unique record. These records will include 856 links to the specific works within a product.
For example, you want to find records for all the plays in "Asian American Drama". Choose the set on this page to retrieve the records for the 250 plays in this product.

Product-Level MARC Records

This page contains sets of MARC records for general access to Alexander Street Press products. No records are available for each book, play, manuscript, video, or audio source in these sets. These records will include 856 links to the home page of a product.
For example, you want to find records for all the Alexander Street Press drama products your library has access to, but not to the individual plays in those products. Select the records for "Asian American Drama," "Black Drama," "North American Women's Drama," and "Twentieth Century North American Drama."

Alexander Street Press MARC Records

Our MARC record specifications were agreed with a committee of customer librarians. We regret we cannot customize record sets. Customers are welcome to modify the records to their own standards. We have used current LC authorities whenever possible in these records. The MARC records in these files supersede records released prior to 2006. Error reporting, comments and questions about these records should be directed to marc@alexanderstreet.com.
