When you order from Mackin your titles are guaranteed to arrive shelf-ready. Your only job is to give us your preferences and we take over. From perfectly aligned spine labels to complete MARC records, our precision processing and cataloging will save you time and money.

All your titles will arrive completely processed to your exact specifications. Spine labels, barcodes, mylar covers on jacketed books, shelflist cards and book pockets if needed, as well as Accelerated Reader or Reading Counts labeling.

We can apply your school’s unique property stamp in any location you choose. We also apply any type of theft-detection device including nonprint theft detection used with 3M security systems. Paperback books can be covered with KAPCO easy covers or MackinBound hardcovers.

Mackin provides full MARC21 electronic records for 100 percent of the titles you order—books, videos, CDs, DVDs, audiotapes and software. If original cataloging is necessary we provide all the necessary tags and multiple subject headings. All records have full annotations, LC and/or Sears subject headings, interest level, reading level, reading program, reviews, and award information.

Consistency Guaranteed

Our MARC records adhere to all MARC21 standards and can be customized to fit your individual needs. They load flawlessly into whatever software system your school uses.

Easy-to-read book labels will be placed exactly where you want them, consistently, from book to book.
