greg, there are a number of z39.50 clients (i think one is bookwhere) that allow you to make a z39.50 connection to the library of congress as well as numerous other compatible databases, and download the full marc record. cheers. john On Fri, 6 Oct 2000, Greg Banks wrote:

While these questions aren't really Koha related, I thought I'd ask them here anyway. So, if I'm out of line, please bear with me.

Does there exist an application that would allow a library to match their records to the Library of Congress (http://catalog.loc.gov) record? Let's say I have a book called, "The boy wonder". It only has the title, author, and publishing information. But, on the Library of Congress, that same book has all sorts of information which I want. Could I get it very easily without having to key in all the extra information myself?

Another question. Does there exist a utility that analyzes data for invalid information and generates a report? Only example I can think of where this would be useful is when dealing with ISBNs.

Thanks.
