  1. MARCXML Case studies Presented to the seminar “Introduction to MARCXML”, National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh, 5 May 2006, organised by the Cataloguing and Indexing Group in Scotland Gill Hamilton, 5 May 2006

  2. The process • Isolate records in the catalogue • Export in MARC exchange • Convert to MARCXML with MARCEdit • Transform the data • If necessary • Convert back to MARC exchange • Import into the catalogue

  3. Case study 1: the problem • Some catalogue records have coded data in them that is not user friendly when displayed in the OPAC • 591 _ _ $h C1SAZSERIAL • We don’t want to convert this by hand coz it is time consuming and boring

  4. Case study 1: the process • MARC exchange to MARCXML • Globally replace the text string • C1SAZSERIAL to • Serials retroconversion project • Convert back to MARC • Reload into catalogue overwriting the original records

  6. Case study 2: the problem • We’ve catalogued books received as a donation but forgot to add a note indicating that they were donated • 509 _ _ $a Donated by Gill Hamilton • We don’t want to do this by hand coz it is time consuming and boring

  7. Case study 2: the process • MARC exchange to MARC XML • Search for end of record marker • </marc:record> • Insert 509 field and data before the marker • MARCXML to MARC exchange • Resort MARC fields if necessary with MARCEdit editor • Reload into catalogue overwriting original records

  8. Case study 3 • A university library routinely catalogues theses and dissertations by staff and students in the main catalogue • Metadata is in MARC21 format • The university deposits electronic versions of institutional output in a repository

  9. Case study 3 continued … • Metadata for the repository is made available for harvesting via the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) • Metadata is in OAI DC format (as a common format; MARC could also be harvested)

  10. Case study 3: the process • MARC exchange to MARCXML • MARCXML to OAI DC using MARCEdit transformations • Load OAI DC records into institutional repository metadata store

  11. More complex changes • Delete fields / subfields • Modify fields /subfields • Add fields / subfields • Dependent on criteria • XSLT • eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations • Language to manipulate XML

  12. Examples of XSLT Thank you to • William W. Jones of New York University Libraries

  13. Examples of XSLT<!--Add 040 $dNNU--> <xsl:templatematch="datafield[@tag='040']"> <datafieldtag="040" ind1=" " ind2=" "> <xsl:copy-of select="subfield"/> <subfield code="d">NNU</subfield> </datafield> </xsl:template>

  14. <!--Copy field 050 data and add 852 field --> <xsl:templatematch="datafield[@tag='050']"> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> <xsl:variablename="sbf1" select="subfield[@code='a']/text()"/> <xsl:variablename="sbf2" select="subfield[@code='b']/text()"/> <datafieldtag="852" ind1="0" ind2="1"> <subfield code="a">NNU</subfield> <subfield code="b">NYU</subfield> <subfield code="b">NewYorkU</subfield> <subfield code="b">Internet</subfield> <subfield code="h"><xsl:value-of select="$sbf1"/></subfield> <subfield code="i"><xsl:value-of select="$sbf2"/></subfield> <subfield code="m">Electronic access</subfield> </datafield> </xsl:template>

  17. Practicalities … • Can your LMS …. • export MARC exchange ? • import MARC exchange ? • import / export without reference to your systems supplier ? • isolate records for export ? • control the import ?

  18. Task requirements • For basic global changes • Text editor like NotePad to make global changes • Transforming MARC to another metadata format • MARCEdit and corresponding XSLTs to convert to MARCXML and other formats • More complex manipulation • A programmer
