I think Ming Tea put it best... MARC 21, MARC 22, MARC 23, MARC 24, MARC 25, MARC 26, MARC 27, MARC 20 heaven. 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?
