Using RIMMF. Tutorial #18, Export a MARC Bib record for a WEMI set

In this tutorial, we are going to export a set of records for a resource (Work, Expression, Manifestation, and any linked Person, Family or Corporate Body records) as a MARC Bib record.

This export is being done on a set that we created from scratch, using Build WEM, but will work the same for any set of RIMMF records.

You can also export individual Work, Expression, Person, Family, or Corporate Body records as MARC Authority records.

Be aware that we are still working on mapping RIMMF RDA to MARC, and so you will have to edit the MARC results, to a greater or lesser degree depending how far along we are with the mapping for any given issue.

• Open RIMMF
• Make sure that you are using the 'Goudge' data folder that you created in Tutorial #1
• If necessary, change to that data folder (see: Change to a different folder of RIMMF records)

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:

• http://rimmf.com/data/zips/AfterTutorial_17.zip

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

• Open the Manifestation record that you want to export:
  • Find: The valley of song. Coward-McCann. [1952]. Volume
  • Open the record

• Choose: Options | MARC (Mapped) View <Ctrl+M>

This displays a text view of how the resulting MARC Bib record will look.

• Return to the Manifestation
• Choose: File | Export to MARC <Shift+F7>

Although it looks like nothing happened,
  (except that the RIMMF ID and the Composite Key heading for the record
  now has "+MARC" attached at the end)
  the MARC Bib record was exported to your 'RIMMF3' folder 
  in a subfolder called 'exports'; 
  named with the RIMMF Identifier of the Manifestation.

• Find the MARC record and open it in some sort of MARC software, for editing either before or after you import it to your ILS

If you export a Work, Expression, Person, Family, or Corporate Body 
  RIMMF record to MARC, it will create a MARC Authority record.

If you have a copy of our MARC Report software:

• Choose: File | Send to MARC Report <Shift+F8>

This exports the MARC Bib record to your 'RIMMF3' folder 
  in a subfolder called 'exports'; 
  named with the RIMMF Identifier of the Manifestation;
  and opens the record in a MARC tagged template,
  ready for editing. 
  

• Close everything
