Import of MARC-21 ISO-2709
and records in other formats
The dialog to import MARC-21 records is shown below. Such records may be
downloaded
- from a web site or another network library and stored locally, or
- from the Library of Congress (LOC). The second icon on the dialog connects
to the LOCs catalogue search page on the Web.
It is possible also to convert records in other format (CCF, CDS/ISIS).
However, since
such databases are not always identical in structure and content, special
programming
is needed for converting records in such databases to the internal MARC-21
compliant
NewGenLib structure.
The capability to import records from other formats, e.g., UNIMARC and other
MARC
formats, is being built as of date (Mar 1, 2004).
Once the record is downloaded, it is selected and then the
'Edit' button is clicked
to begin editing
the imported record using either the MARC-21 or the
General
Template.
