Hi Alice,<br><br>Yes it is possible to extract metadata from Dspace using OAI-PMH interface. The exported format would be dublin core that can be converted into other formats. <br><br>We are using Terry Resse's MarcEdit tool to harvest and convert metadata from Dspace into MARC. MarcEdit has a built-in OAI harvester and has the flexibility to add custom style sheets to control how the fields get mapped.<br>

<p>Is it possible to export metadata from DSpace, and convert
to MARC format? I’m thinking it should be possible – if someone
could point me to steps for how I would do this, I would really appreciate it. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It would be particularly helpful if this could be done from
the UI, but I suppose I’m dreaming big dreams…</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
