I'd like to pre-load my ILS with the LoC Authority records for Subject
headers before starting to catalog, for a more efficient workflow,
compared to looking them up and downloading them one at a time.
When doing the latter, http://authorities.loc.gov/ clearly states they
are available as MARC records, but looks like only one at a time. Also
here: http://id.loc.gov/authorities/
http://id.loc.gov/download/ seems to be the place for bulk
downloading, but the formats offered don't include MARC!
Their preferred format seems to be RDF-XML.
Is there a plug-in or some other way to batch convert this data into MARC?
As a side issue, I came across some mentions that MarcEdit will allow
for LCSH term lookups using OCLC's Terminology Service. I haven't
found anything along these lines in MarcEdit nor at the web site - was
that just an experiment that never made it into code?
If none of the above pans out, any general suggestions on getting
access to the LCSH authorities in Marc, if not in bulk then a quick
way to get them one at a time:
