MARC 21, MARC 22,
MARC 23, MARC 24,
MARC 25, MARC 26,

Whilst Roy may be far pure Scottish, I he seldom strays from unblended
Scotch .

On a more serious note, what happens to the British Library if the vote is
for independence? How long will it take for the Scottish library to join
IFLA, and to develop a sufficiently incompatible MARC variant? SAMARC?
