A Note on the Conversion of Existing Catalogue Records to MARC Format

Abstract

Southampton University Library are converting part of their existing catalogue to MARC format. This is for bookstock transferred to the Wessex Medical Library whose catalogues are being produced by local MARC. The existing catalogue cards are used as the basis of the new record, and are attached to specially‐designed input sheets which simplify the inclusion of the MARC tagging structure. The typists punch the data from these sheets to form a full local MARC record.
