Adding MARC records to Unglue.it

{% if messages %} {% endif %} {% if not form.initial.edition %}

Selecting an edition

MARC records are associated with unglue.it edition records. Look for links in the "More" tab of any unglue.it work page that has a "Download" button on it. {% endif %}

Adapting records from LoC

For ebooks which have existing print editions cataloged in the Library of Congress, we can automatically convert those to Unglue.it ebook MARC records, which will then be automatically affixed to the ebook edition in our database and provided to ungluers.

To get the XML record, search http://catalog.loc.gov/, select the print edition, and click on the permalink (will look something like http://lccn.loc.gov/63008219). This page has a MARCXML link.

The record loader will automatically add 856 fields to all the unglued ebook files known to the Unglue.it database. Make sure those links are in the database before adding the record.

Editing stub records from Unglue.it

For ebooks which do NOT have existing print editions catalogued by the Library of Congress, you can help us by improving stub records created with information from the Unglue.it database. After you download a stub record (look for the button on any work page), edit the record and upload it as a "record prepared for Unglue.it".

{% if form.initial.edition %} The current records for this edition are here. They may be auto-generated stubs:
{% include 'marc_form.html' %}
{% endif %}

Edit the record, then upload it as a "record prepared for Unglue.it". The record loader strips 001, 003, 005, 006, 007, 856 and >900 fields, and adds them back in on download.
