    Hi Tim Kiser,

    Here is an example of how Princeton University Library catalog vector data in the MARC format (https://catalog.princeton.edu/catalog/4646677/staff_view). Each layer is linked to our Portal (https://maps.princeton.edu/) which has full metadata record.

    Thanks,
    -Wangyal
