[Isis-users] Copy MARC record from another software to ABCD

[Egbert De Smet]

Hello,


the file to be imported is actually a 'tagged-text' file, each line starting with the field-tag (3 positions), followed by the contents of that field.

There are several tools to import such a file into an ISIS-database (as used by ABCD), but not 'ready-to-use' since some re-formatting would be needed.


However the first question I would ask is : since it is a MARC-record from a national library (seemingly Brazil), can't you directly copy it into ABCD from there using the Z39-50 protocol, a built-in feature in ABCD ?

Some 40+ Z39.50 servers have already been configured into ABCD, but not the Brazilian National Library. It goes without saying that having that one also configured would be a nice addition to ABCD, supposing that this National Library has a Z39.50 server running of course, which should be the case anyway. It requires someone requesting the data of that server (see the form in the Z39.50 configuration option of the 'Configure Z39.50 Client' main-menu).

If it is just this title, you could also search it in another Z39.50 server already available in ABCD, e.g. Library of Congress.

But this won't be practical when you need to convert a whole list of records in some sort of 'batch'-modus. Is that the case ?

Subject: [Isis-users] Copy MARC record from another software to ABCD

Greetings everyone! I hope you are all well and safe.

I know that in some software it is possible to copy the form in MARC format (MARC tags) directly to a record in the database.

It is an import by text file. I saw that there is this option in the tools, but I don't know if it is possible with the available settings (it is apparently possible to import only from Excel). Has anyone done something like that?

Attached is an example of text copied from the Biblioteca Nacional (http://acervo.bn.gov.br/sophia_web<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Facervo.bn.gov.br%2Fsophia_web&data=02%7C01%7Cegbert.desmet%40uantwerpen.be%7C787a7f2c837849894c0608d7dc940554%7C792e08fb2d544a8eaf72202548136ef6%7C0%7C0%7C637220400612482908&sdata=NP3BY4FyBi01IhBCnNdgKvpqc56Ed4bNiUyutVldhVo%3D&reserved=0>).

Thanks!

Saudações a todos! Espero que estejam todos bem e a salvo.

Sei que em alguns softwares há a possibilidade de copiar a ficha em formato MARC (MARC tags) diretamente para um registro na base.

É uma importação por arquivo de texto. Eu vi que existe essa opção nas ferramentas, mas não sei se é possível com as configurações disponíveis (aparentemente é possível importar somente do Excel). Alguém já fez algo do tipo?

Envio anexo um exemplo de texto copiado da Biblioteca Nacional  (http://acervo.bn.gov.br/sophia_web<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Facervo.bn.gov.br%2Fsophia_web&data=02%7C01%7Cegbert.desmet%40uantwerpen.be%7C787a7f2c837849894c0608d7dc940554%7C792e08fb2d544a8eaf72202548136ef6%7C0%7C0%7C637220400612492909&sdata=SuOg5lYY8WVj%2FOqzAvlmbzzdBNnz9742hsMZSjOBlaI%3D&reserved=0>).

Obrigada pela atenção!
