Importing Libray of Congress records into PMB
Wanted to import the Library of Congress record for my Webster’s dictionary.
It failed with an obscure message (notices invalides). Looking at the code, this could be caused by a missing title statement (UNIMARC tag $200a
).
And indeed upon inspection the title is in MARC zone $245

Turns out that the LoC notice is in MARC21 format, whereas PMB expects UNIMARC. So I used MarcEdit to convert MARC21 to UNIMARC and was able to import.
