"Polaris lives up to our expectations...if we've got questions they've got answers. Reporting was an issue because of a lack of a date parameter. Problem reported to Polaris and now problem solved."

  • Select bibliographic, item, authority and patron record sets to use as a basis for export.
  • Select and save custom extraction criteria based on values found in the record sets.
  • Define the columns and tags to be included in the export.
  • Choose from expanded date criteria including relative dates.
  • Identify and save tag and sub-field mappings for items (MARC holdings maps) exported in bibliographic records.
  • Export patron information to a delimited text file or Excel worksheet.
  • Schedule exports to automate frequent and repetitive export tasks.


Export Express from Polaris is the ideal solution for libraries that need to interface with union database catalogs that are unable to recognize Z39.50, SIP and/or NCIP connections. It is also an essential tool for libraries that need to define and select specific export criteria for any purpose.
