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].

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.
