Curio’s catalogue is fairly dynamic and content is added on a weekly basis, and from time to time they lose rights to certain assets, principally acquisitions.
To ensure an up-to-date Curio catalogue, it is recommend downloading Curio’s MARC records on a regular basis. The catalogue is updated every day and many libraries download our records every 2 to 3 weeks. Curio offers MARC records for created, modified and deleted assets. More complete information is available in the Help Center, both here [4] and here [5].
In addition, where applicable, the end-of-rights date for any given asset appears in field 541 of our MARC records.
If you or your members have any questions regarding content or cataloguing, you can contact Michaël at contenus@curio.ca [6].
