Synch_BibsByIDGet

This method returns a list of bibliographic record IDs and a MARC XML representation of the bibliographic record(s) requested by the user. The specific bibliographic records returned by this method may be queried using a single bibliographic record ID, a comma-delimited list of IDs, or by specifying a range. For example:

  • Individual bibliographic record query: ?bibids=243
  • Comma-delimited query: ?bibids=243,253,657,2980,32,35
  • Ranged query: ?bibids=243-280

Note: Query types cannot be combined in a single query. An individual or comma-delimited query must be made separate from a ranged query.

Documentation for the MARC XML schema may be found at the Library of Congress:
http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/

Important: No more than 50 bibliographic records may be requested at a time. Bibliographic record IDs must be numeric. If a bibliographic record requested does not exist, a row will not be returned. A call to AuthenticateStaffUser is required before calling any protected methods.
