There is a marvelous tutorial available for this module [1] with lot of real examples. Once you get comfortable with this module you probably won't look anywhere else for MARC related jobs in future. Having said that, I've just started working on a personal project of creating a web-based utility to enable conversion of Excel data into MARC21. You can have look at the pre-alpha version in [2]. It is far from complete, e.g., the download option in iso2709 or marcxml is yet to be written. Any feedback would be welcome.
