Monday, September 13, 2004 21:20 CDT Hi, Andres, Marco, et al., As I've recommended to the list too many times now (and really, I don't get a commission from Terry Reese), MARC Edit can translate a human readable form -- usually called a tagged version -- into a true MARC record. That is, it can translated ITS tagged format into a true MARC record. How easy it is to get there then depends on what kind of tagged format you already have. For that matter, although it isn't pretty to read, with a little practice, you can read a true MARC record as it is. Your eye learns to catch the end of delimited fields once you get used to passing over all the directory information at the start. Just FYI. Cheers, Steven F.

Marco: You mean translating a "human readable" representation of a marc record into iso2709?, I'm not aware of an easy way of doing that. Maybe your current ILS can give you the data in a way more suitable for crunching it with PERL or some shellscripting magic.

Hi!

Can I convert MARC Tags to MARC Format? How to? How can I get a manual about it?

Thanks!

Marco
