<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re trying to figure out the fastest way to generate stub resource records in ASpace from MARC XML for about 300 collections. The MARC XML we get from our Sierra OPAC creates really messy resource records using the MARC import function
baked into ASpace, so while we <i>could</i> do that and spend our time on clean-up after ingest, I feel like there must be a way to convert the MARC XML into clean JSON in bulk (maybe with a CSV intermediary step?) and then import via the API. Before I go
too far down the “I’ll just do it all myself” route, has anyone done this before and could share workflows or scripts? Or gently tell me why this won’t work?<o:p></o:p></p>
