Using RIMMF. Tutorial #17, Import a Bib record from a non-LC library catalog, for a related motion picture

In this tutorial, we are going to learn about importing a Bib record from a library catalog for a video that contains a Work that is related to a Work that is already in the EI. This process has many issues, including incomplete MARC mapping in RIMMF.

NON-CATALOGERS MIGHT PREFER TO SKIP THIS TUTORIAL and proceed to Tutorial #18

You have been warned!

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 and Export a Bib Record from a non-LC Catalog (not using <F3>)

For this tutorial, I found a record for us to export and import
  in a public catalog that allows export of MARC records.
This opens the record for: 
  "Green Dolphin Street [videorecording] / Turner Entertainment Co"
Unless you rename it, the record will be called 'exportRecord'.

Import the Bib Record

Wait--this will take awhile
  because RIMMF is importing a lot of records.

Notice that this process works exactly like an <F3> import does;
  and notice that Goudge is unchecked
  and RIMMF found matching NAF Authority records for 
  all sorts of people associated with the Bib record.

Edit the Manifestation

Using the videocassette template, 
  will remind us about additional data
  that we might need to add.
We have quite a bit of editing to do.
Notice the 508 actually contains Statement of responsibility data: 
  "Directed by Victor Saville ; produced by Carey Wilson ; 
  screenplay by Samson Raphaelson."
Notice the 511 in the MARC record
  now maps to Note on Statement of Responsibility
The 'Videocassette' template that you chose, 
  added the following constant data:
  - Mode of Issuance: single unit (this is ok, since there is only 1 cassette)
  - Media Type: video
  - Carrier Type: videocassette
  - Type of Unit (Other): videocassette
  - Video Format: VHS
It is ok that the duration disappeared, 
  it belongs in the Expression data, not here.
Notice 'VHS' in 538 of the MARC record
  that was already provided for you,
  by the constant data in the template.

Edit the Expression

As you go down the list of common Expression elements
  for a video, look at the MARC record, 
  to see whether there is anything 
  you could add or edit in the Expression data.
Notice that 'Date of Expression' is: 1991
  RIMMF copied that from the Date of Publication,
  but it is highly likely that this work
  was actually first expressed as a motion picture
  at an earlier date.

Research (Wikipedia) indicates that the motion picture
  first came out in 1947
Notice that Colour Content is already filled in,
  correctly: as per 'b&w' in the 300$b
  
Notice that 'Sound Content' is already filled in,
  correctly: as per 'sd.' in the 300$b
Notice the duration in the 300$a 
  has been correctly mapped to the Duration element

Edit the Work

As you go down the list of common Work elements
  for a video, look at the MARC record, 
  to see whether there is anything 
  you could add or edit in the Work data.
Let's add the 'Form of Work' data to the AAP for the Work.
Notice that 'Date of Work is: 1991
  RIMMF copied that from the Date of Publication,
  but we already know that the motion picture
  first came out in 1947
We know from the Wikipedia article, that this motion picture
  originated in the U.S.
Notice the 500$a Not rated
Notice that a Screenwriter link has been made for 
  Raphaelson, as per his $e code in the MARC record.
  
Although he is, indeed, screenwriter for this movie,
  and is the Creator/Screenwriter for the screenplay
  on which this movie is based,
  he is not considered a Creator for this movie.

This is still under debate,
  but I recommend that you delete him as Screenwriter
  and add him as a Related work entry for his screenplay.
Notice that Saville and Wilson have been added
 as Director and Producer, as per the $e codes
 in the MARC record.
Add a Related Work link for the original work.
Create a brief Work record for the Screenplay,
  using the title of the motion picture as its preferred title
  and the screenwriter as its creator.
Screenplay is already provided 
  as constant data for Form of Work in the template

We also want to add that term to the AAP for the Work
As you can see the backlink to the motion picture Work
  has already been added.

Now we need to add a link to the original novel
That's all we need for the screenplay
