Working with MARC

2013-02-16T19:04:46Z

MarkSullivan: /* MARC Programming Libraries */

MARC stands for Machine Readable Cataloging, and many folks in the code4lib community find themselves working with MARC records at some point. This page is meant to be a round-up of the tools for working with MARC. If you want a general introduction to the standard, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MARC_standards the Wikipedia article] is a good place to start. MARC data is usually expressed either in ISO 2709 ("binary") form or MARCXML form.

__TOC__

== Reference information ==

* [http://www.loc.gov/marc/ Library of Congress MARC Standards Pages] (covers MARC21; formerly USMARC)
* [http://www.bl.uk/bibliographic/ukmarc.html British Library UKMARC Pages]
* [http://archive.ifla.org/VI/3/p1996-1/sec-uni.htm IFLA UNIMARC Pages]

== Desktop tools ==

* [http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php MarcEdit]

* [http://www.auto-graphics.com/download/SHOWMARC.EXE Showmarc]: is a DOS program that will show all the MARC fields used and how many times each is used.

* [http://rossjohnson.homemail.com.au/MARCRTP/ MARC Record Translation Program] (MARC RTP) is a command line utility that shows fields and subfields used in a collection of MARC records and then converts, and selectively imports, into databases built with general-purpose applications.

* The [http://www.loc.gov/marc/marc-functional-analysis/tool.html FRBR Display Tool] takes a file of MARC records and creats XML and HTML files arranged using the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records principles.

* [http://mysite.du.edu/~ttyler/freeware/marcxgen.htm MarcXGen] is a Marc URL extractor and HTML generator. Useful for link checking MARC records.

* [http://www.loc.gov/marc/makrbrkr.html MARCMaker and MARCBreaker] are DOS programs by the Library of Congress for converting MARC records to a text format and back.

* [http://www.bl.uk/bibliographic/usemarcon.html USEMARCON] is a multi-platform rule-based MARC record manipulation program. It is a command-line utility but there is also a GUI for it.

== Getting Sample Data ==

One common question is where to get sample MARC records for testing or playing around with. If you work at a library, chances are good that you can get some records out of your ILS (go ask your systems librarian if you don't know how to do this yourself). If you don't work in a library, you can get [http://www.archive.org/details/ol_data MARC bibliographic records from the Internet Archive].

You can also get [http://www.hathitrust.org/data MARCXML data for titles in HathiTrust through OAI-PMH].

There is a nascent movement within the code4lib community to establish a test set of problematic MARC records, especially records that are representative of the kinds of weirdness that is encountered in real libraries. It is hoped that this could eventually become a test corpus against which to run various MARC processing implementations. For more information, watch [http://www.archive.org/details/MARCTHULU Simon Spero's excellent talk from Code4LibCon 2010].

MARC records for authority data are more common. The [http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/download.html Getty Vocabularies] makes both the The Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) and The Union List of Artist Names (ULAN) freely available. The [http://www.library.northwestern.edu/public/gsafd/ Guidelines On Subject Access To Individual Works Of Fiction, Drama, Etc.] records are available from Northwestern University. The [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/filelist.html Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)] are available in many formats, one of them being MARC.
