The new release, ITSforWindows 3.36, is fully compatible with updated Library of Congress Control Numbers (LCCN) in use this January and provides expanded, new print capabilities. As Annette Bakhtiar, Chief Executive Officer for TLC noted, “ITSforWindows 3.36 permits librarians to quickly recover from a printer jam when printing cards, labels or edit sheets. This particular capability further differentiates our product from would-be competitors, many of which don’t even provide a print function.”

Another enhancement to ITSforWindows 3.36 is the addition of default extensions to the list of recognized file types. “Users no longer have to key in non-standard extensions when opening or saving MARC records which is a real time-saver for busy librarians,” continued Ms. Bakhtiar. Additional features of ITSforWindows 3.36 include a safety measure that protects against accidental erasure of MARC record batches from the Internet queue; the option to print MARC record edit sheets in single spacing mode; and, improved options in the utility menu.

• Initially introduced in 1995, ITSforWindows is well recognized for enabling users to:
