Hello all, "Koha 3.14. Manual (en)" considers "MARC", "MARC21" and "UNIMARC". What principle differences exist between these formats ? My database (i.e. isis-catalog, 100 000 records) has been created in accordance with Ukrainian standard "UKRMARC". What of the indicated formats must be chosen for preferences ? What criteria need to be followed for the choice of marc-format ? Thank you, Gennady
Hi Gennady, seems that UKRMARC it's based on UNIMARC Perhaps this link can be useful [1] Regards, Bernardo [1] http://library.lviv.ua/e-library/library_standarts/UkrMarc/index.shtml -- Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel bgkriegel@gmail.com On Mon, May 12, 2014 at 7:05 AM, zolot <zolot@imath.kiev.ua> wrote:

in fact UKRMARC is UNIMARC. See here: http://library.lviv.ua/e-library/library_standarts/UkrMarc/index_eng.shtml Koha support NORMARC, MARC21 and UNIMARC. "MARC" is a sinonimous of "MARC21". In Koha there is a Ukraine support for UNIMARC and MARC21 in .../installer/data/mysql/uk-UA/marcflavour/ The person behind it is Serhij Dubyk, serhijdubyk@gmail.com In my humble opinion it is easier to use Koha with MARC21, but if your cataloguers know only UKRMARC use UNIMARC. In fact the best person to ask for an opinon about your situation is Serhij Dubyk.

I've always seen Marc21 records used. I don't know the technical differences nor how hard it would be to convert to UKRMARC. Phillip

Good question! Check your UKRMARC. Where is your title proper? 245(MARC21) or 200(UNIMARC). Your MARC choice must keep harmony with Z39.50 copy cataloguing. Taiwan libraries choose MARC21, because Taiwan's Z39.50 servers provide MARC21 records only. However China libraries have to choose UNIMARC, because their Z39.50 servers provide CNMARC(based on UNIMARC) records. 2014-05-12 18:05 GMT+08:00 zolot <zolot@imath.kiev.ua>:
