There are two (2) Cataloging Maintenance Centers (CMCs) in the state of Illinois.  Originally created to provide database cleanup for automated library systems across Illinois, they also provide contract cataloging services state-wide, each of the CMCs serving a separate region in the state.

Contract cataloging services are provided to Illinois libraries at a reduced cost, original cataloging ranging in price from $10 to $25, depending on the type of material being cataloged. Special materials can now be cataloged for free.
