TIND MARCXML

Some features of TIND's MARCXML don't play well with standard MARCXML and vice versa. This article describes the changes that need to be made in a text editor after converting to MARC21XML in MarcEdit, or before uploading to MarcEdit as MARC21XML. See also TIND batch upload from MARCXML.

TIND's MARCXML requirements

  • Use "000" instead of "leader" or "LDR"
  • Spaces in control fields must be replaced with a backslash
  • Delete MARC 005 before attempting to replace records on 035 match
