custom-marc-exporter

Background:

Sample custom MARC exporter demonstarted at the 2018 Code4Lib pre-conference workshop. Enables following customizations to MARC exporter.

008/15-17 (Country Code):

Currently defined in output as “xx”=Unknown. Should be the location of the repository. Define as “dcu”=District of Columbia.

Leader/18 (Descriptive Cataloging Form):

Currently defined as “u”=Unknown. Should be “i”=ISBD punctuation is used.

040 (Cataloging Source):

Currently very generic, but will be defined as: <datafield tag=”040” ind2=” “ ind1=” “> psels eng dacs psels

245, subfield f (Date):

This is where the date info is currently mapped to. However, we want it mapped to the 264, subfield c:

264, subfield c (Date): <datafield tag=”264” ind2=”0“ ind1=” “> [whatever the date info is].

Currently rather generic. Will be defined: <datafield tag=”852” ind2=” “ ind1=” “> Code4Lib 2018 2500 Calvert St NW, Washington, DC 20008 [Collection number]
