Hmm ... good idea.<br>
<br>
The Minuteman catalog doesn't have MARC export functionality, &<br>
records can be saved to a list, but no MARC export there either.<br>
<br>
MarcEditor will accept text files; format should be like this, however:<br>
<br>
=LDR 04217cgm a2200841Ia 4500<br>
=001 ocn175280415<br>
=003 OCoLC<br>
=008 071019s2007\\\\cau181\\\\\\\\\\\\mleng\d<br>
=040 \\$aEYB$cEYB$dOCLCQ$dOCLCG$dIUL<br>
=041 1\$aeng$afre$aspa$beng$bspa$heng<br>
=043 \\$ae-un---<br>
=050 \4$aPN1997$b.F43 2007<br>
=130 0\$aFiddler on the roof (Motion picture)<br>
<br>
Not this:<br>
<div class="im">LEADER 00000cam 2200397Ia 4500<br>
001 233216064<br>
003 OCoLC<br>

100 1 Evanovich, Janet.<br>
245 10 Fearless fourteen /|cJanet Evanovich.<br>
<br>
</div>The latter does not compile correctly into MARC. I changed the<br>
following manually & the file compiled fine:<br>
* change | to $<br>
* add = before each line<br>
* change LEADER to LDR<br>
<br>
Not sure whether any of these changes are optional ...<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>For our library, I created a MARC editor that actually uses a format something like this:<br>000 00000cam 2200397Ia 4500<br>003 OCoLC<br>100 $a Twain, Mark.<br>245 14 $a The adventures of Huckleberry Finn / $b by Mark Twain.<br>
<br>It understands |a and $a. Indicators are optional, but the leading $a is not.<br><br>You can see a demo at <a href="http://jcfld.us.to:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio-text.pl">http://jcfld.us.to:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio-text.pl</a> (login demo/demo).<br>
It's got a few problems dealing with hidden subfields and authorities that would make it best suited to an import facility, but it works quite well for us.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Jesse Weaver<br>
