Hi Clara, 

For these kind of lookups, fixes, merges, extractions, transformations, LibreCat's Catmandu has been my "got to" solution for MARC (and other bib / aut records formats) ETL,

              https://github.com/LibreCat/Catmandu-MARC 

given how versatile, the modules it incorporates, the possible sources and destinations (stores)... hope I properly understood your need.

If so, here are some Catmandu resources:

* Tutorial: https://librecatproject.wordpress.com/2014/12/01/day-1-getting-catmandu/
* About Catmandu 1.20: https://librecatproject.wordpress.com/
* Fixes: https://github.com/LibreCat/Catmandu/wiki/Fixes
* Cheat Sheet - https://librecat.org/assets/catmandu_cheat_sheet.pdf 

Hope this helps! (and I am sure there are plenty of Catmandu experts here :) )

Filipe

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Bulk Creation of MARC records: what to do with the 2nd indicator of field 245

Hi everyone,

I am bulk creating MARC records and looking for resources to help with the 2nd indicator of field 245.
I use python, but if there is a resource in another language, it would still be useful.

I have a basic dictionary of the articles in different languages, but there are challenges linked to context and added punctuation (A to Z, The ..., ... The ... ).

Thank you!
Clara
