In this tutorial, we are going to learn about importing a Bib record from the LC Catalog directly, i.e., not using <F3>.
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.
If you cannot find a hit in the LC database for something, using <F3> you can go to the LC public catalog directly and download a MARC record and import that record to RIMMF. You can also follow these steps to get records from any catalog that allows export of MARC records from the public catalog or from which you have cataloging access, and so can export a MARC record (e.g., from OCLC, if you are a member)
Unless you rename it, a record that you export from the LC catalog will be called 'records.mrc'.
Notice that this process works exactly like an <F3> import does, and we are going to import 2 records: Contributor, and Manifestation; and create 2 records: Work, Expression; and link to Author (which we already have)
Notice that the Statement of Responsibility is nicely split into two statements (because of the semicolon ( ; )
Everything else in the record looks fine.
Look at the MARC record, to see whether there is anything you could add or edit in the Expression data. Notice "music" in the 300$b
If you feel that the illustrations could also warrant another 'Content Type', then add 'still image' as a third 'Content Type'
Notice that RIMMF brought over the 521 as 'Intended Audience'; and brought over one subject heading and two classification numbers as subject relationships.
Notice that all of the relationship labels are correctly given as 'Author of'
If you are finished playing with RIMMF for now, close RIMMF. If you want to proceed, go to Tutorial #14
