Bill, John Voth has made some tools he created available.
The first program takes a raw scan of a book's EAN (ie:9781575212784) and converts it into the ISBN (ie:1575212781). The second program takes a list of ISBN's and attempts to retrieve the MARC record for each title from the LoC. They are in tar.gz format at http://www.voth.ca/bib.php Sincerely, David Bigwood [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lunar & Planetary Institute Cataloging news: http://www.catalogablog.blogspot.com -----Original Message----- From: Bill White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 12:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: newbie question: isbn -> marc?
