Michael Doran from the University of Texas at Arlington has also put together a set of programs for preprocessing netLibrary records and a nice description of how they work together with a Voyager system. You can see his work at: http://rocky.uta.edu/doran/preprocess/

NAME

parseNetLibrary.pl - Process MARC files from netLibrary

SYNOPSIS

  parseNetLibrary.pl -o outfile inputfile [inputfile ...]

DESCRIPTION

Using the netLibrary MARC records, select the specific records we want to load, transform them (e.g. change the 856 subfield z text), mark them in such a way that we can collect them in a boolean list at a later time, then output them to a file.

FLAGS

-o <outfile>

All of the records selected from the input files will be written to this output file.

-d

Rather than sending output to a file, send an ASCII version of the MARC record to the screen (useful for debugging).

-q

Don't output messages count the number of records in each file and the total number of records.
