if you want valid MARC, you have to use leader. you can see here what
leader is: 
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdleader.html

most of the fields are filled automaticaly, or can be set as default
values.
if you build different fremeworks for different material types (books,
serials, ...) than you can set appropriate values in the frameworks, so
librarians doesn't have to care about it.

> BTW, are there any instructions available on using the bulkmarkimport tool?

./bulkmarcimport.pl -h 

will give you all options listed
