. The file 'heb.mrc' contains the cumulative set of MARC records for all titles that are currently live in the collection. This file is the best option for making sure you have the most up-to-date set of records. We also make available incremental update files for those who prefer only to load records that have been added or corrected since the previous round. In this case, just download the load the files named 'heb_update_YYYY-MM-DD.mrc', substituting YYYY-MM-DD with the all dates that follow the last time you loaded records for HEB.
PLEASE NOTE: The records are MARC21, USMARC records, in Unicode UTF-8 format. There is a discrepancy between the number of records and the number of books in the collection due to the fact that multi-volume sets share a single record. Every effort has been made to bring these records up to current national standards.

Since ACLS HEB went live in September 2002, 161 titles have been removed from the collection. Libraries can download a list of those titles (including removal dates) here.
