Importing MARC data into DSpace

"For the interest of anyone else working on Institutional Repositories, I’ve written a technical report on how we used MARC record data to build records for import into DSpace.

In brief, we had a couple of collections with documents held in local web servers and a record for each document in our catalogue. So we exported the catalogue records to a MARC file for each collection, then developed Perl scripts to convert the MARC records into the required data structure required to import into DSpace."

You can find the report in our Digital Library, at
