Using RIMMF. Tutorial #12, Import a Bib record that has no NAF record for its Work or Expression

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about importing an LC Bib record as a RIMMF Manifestation record when no Work or Expression NAF record is available.

Open RIMMF

Alternate: Use a pre-built folder

If you want to jump to this tutorial without doing the previous tutorials, follow the "Download Web Folder" instructions and download the following folder from our website:

If you intend to use this file to proceed through the remaining tutorials, 
  remember that it is located in your '\RIMMF3\imports\zip' folder.

Find, View and Import the Manifestation Record

Notice that RIMMF is going to import the Manifestation,
  create records for the
  Expression, and Work,
  import a NAF record for a Person: Floethe, as an Illustrator,
  and link to the Author: Goudge.

Check the Manifestation

RIMMF would have done this split for you, if the separating punctuation
  had been the semicolon ( ; ) that it should have been.

Check the Expression

Look at the MARC record, to see whether there is anything 
  you could add or edit in the Expression data.
  
There is nothing more to be done.

Check the Work

I don't see anything in the MARC record, 
  that you could add in the Work data.

View the R-Tree

Notice the Illustrator that was added in the import; 
  we should check it
Let's just say, for now, that this import is fine as is.
Notice that all of the relationship labels are correctly given
  as 'Author of'
