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 Filipe MS Bento, PhD | BL Labs Technical Lead Email / Skype for Business: mailto:[log in to unmask] ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8135-2304 https://www.bl.uk/people/experts/filipe-bento British Library Labs The British Library, St Pancras, London, NW1 2DB Email: mailto:[log in to unmask] | Twitter: @BL_Labs Web: http://labs.bl.uk -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries <mailto:[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Clara Turp Sent: 28 July 2020 16:59 To: mailto:[log in to unmask] 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!
