[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace: OAI Harvest to OCLC

At UNLV we batch export MARC records. The workflow is from before my time
but when I asked about it this was the response:

We have an article that describes the overall workflow (skip to about
halfway through the article) and includes example records in the appendix:
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/19386389.2017.1285143

If folks can't access the article, basically the process is: export MARCXML
file from ArchivesSpace*; import file into Connexion client; use Connexion
macros to make certain standard modifications to the record; proofread,
add/correct name and subject headings, make other edits based on
cataloger's judgment, etc.; export record to local catalog.

The above article is pre-plugin**.  Another article that (briefly)
describes the workflow with the plugin is here:
https://elischolar.library.yale.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1039&context=jcas

This one's open-source so anyone can access it.  The section on the MARC
export plugin starts at the bottom of page 7.

* This exporting used to be done using the UI but is now done using the
Multi MARC Exporter script (which among other things, helps reduce the
number of individual files we need to import into Connexion):
