[Archon-L] Importing MARC into OCLC (fwd)

[Chris Prom]

Amy,

We have not tried to do this.  We have loaded into our local 
catalog without a problem.

I think before loading to OCLC, you may need to tweak the MARC 
output.  This can be done by customizing the file marc.php in the 
archon folder on the webserver, but I'd back it up before using 
it.

Also, you or a programmer should read both the documentation for 
PHP-MARC http://www.emilda.org/index.php?q=php-marc before 
trying this, since archon uses this open-source library to 
produce the marc record.

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: [Archon-L] Importing MARC into OCLC

Hello,

Has anyone had experience loading MARC records generated by Archon into
OCLC? If so, did you use the client version or the web-based version of
OCLC's Connexion? I would also be interested in experiences loading raw text
MARC records into OCLC.

Thank you.
