Record Menu: File Menu: Export to Marc

Note: The RDA to MARC export present in RIMMF3 is a work in progress.

This option can only be used while in an entity record. If chosen, it:

• converts the entity data to MARC21:
  • Manifestation data is combined with selected Work, Expression, and Item data to create a bibliographic record
  • Person, Family, Corporate body, Work, and Expression data export as authority records
  • Item data does not export separately (as a holdings record) at this time
• saves the result as a file:
  • named: the RIMMF Identifier of the record, with the extension: '.mrc' (e.g., qpq00002482.mrc)
  • in your RIMMF3 folder called 'Exports'

• Keeping in mind the conversion explanation above, in an entity record that you wish to save as a MARC21 record:
  • Choose File | Export to MARC; or press <Shift+F7>
  • Note the RIMMF Identifier for the record
• Go to your RIMMF3 folder
  • open the RIMMF3 folder called 'exports', and find the corresponding MARC record ('.mrc')
  • open the MARC record using some sort of MARC software such as MARC Report, or your ILS system

To export a RIMMF entity record as a MARC21 record:

• With the entity record open:
  • Choose File | Export to MARC; or press <Shift+F7>

• Note the RIMMF Identifier for the record

• Go to the RIMMF3 data folder called 'Exports' ¹⁾
  • find the corresponding MARC record (using the RIMMF Identifier you noted down earlier)
  • open the MARC record using some sort of MARC software. e.g., the MARC Report software (shown below)
