Subject: Re: How to Convert a Spreadsheet to a Brief MARC File with OCLC Numbers?
Dear Mei,
I did something similar for loading OCLC numbers to our old system. I would get a tab delimited file from OCLC with 2 columns, but I think a spreadsheet is very similar. The instructions (based on an earlier version of MARCedit I am afraid) were:
Use MarcEdit to convert the tab delimited text file to a .mrc file.
Add-ins, Delimited text translator; input file is X.txt, output file X.mrk. Choose delimiter (Tab, but check the file from OCLC first to be sure); Select field 0 map to 001 (no indicators), click Apply; Select field 1, map to 941$a (indicators \\), click Apply; click Finish; should say Processing file. Check it when it is done, then make it into MARC .mrc.
Field 0 and field 1 stand for the columns in the file. MARCedit will create little stub MARC records and supply the LDR, etc.
