One of our customers wants the ability to import Follett marc records without having to use Marc Edit (to change fields 852 to 952). We want to make this change generic such that it will work for any import file that has holdings in fields other than 952.
This is what we were thinking, will appreciate feedback on this design:
[...]
2. Accept framework code as user input from stage-marc-import.pl. User could choose nothing which means input file already has holdings in 952. Or could choose Follett or some other vendor.
my vote is for this solution. I think we need a standard for all about this topic and 952 is OK. And I don't like modification in the API for this type of work (conversion and migration). My experience is that every migration is unique and same specific software work is a must for a quite good migration. So best solution 2, with good documentation to implement a a new code o to modify a present one. In the future a specific API for convertion ? Bye Zeno Tajoli
