It handles conversions +from MARC into ASCII (text), Library of Congress MARCMaker, HTML, +and ISBD. Input from MARCMaker format is also supported. Individual +records, fields, indicators, and subfields can be created, modified, and +deleted. It can extract URLs from the 856 field into HTML. + +MARC.pm can handle both single and batches of MARC records. The limit on +the number of records in a batch is determined by the memory capacity of +the machine you are running. If memory is an issue for you MARC.pm will +allow you to read in records from a batch gradually. MARC.pm also includes +a variety of tools for searching, removing, and even creating records from +scratch. |
