[Dspace-general] FW: export to MARC format?

[Barbara Porrett]

Hi,

Am I assuming correctly that Alice and others are exporting from DSpace to an ILS?   Is anyone out there creating metadata for DSpace in an ILS and then exporting to their institutional repository?  Our library tech services staff create the metadata for our DSpace repository and they would much prefer to work in an ILS.

Many thanks.

Barb P.

Hi Alice,

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.

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.

Best,
Harish

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.



It would be particularly helpful if this could be done from the UI, but I suppose I'm dreaming big dreams...



Thanks!
