Leader 00-04 in the MARC bibliographic format is for logical record length. That is five characters long, making me think MARC bib records can be as large as 99,999 characters (almost 100K).
Yet several ILS vendors have remarked to me that the maximum size of MARC records is 10K.
Can anyone comment on the maximum size of MARC bib records?
