Hello All,

just a quick heads up that USEMARCON version 3.06, a MARC record
conversion framework, is now available from the USEMARCON page at the
British Library (http://www.bl.uk/services/bibliographic/usemarcon.html).

USEMARCON provides a framework for building rules that allow conversion
and modification of MARC records. It can be run as a standalone program
or embedded into other software. A Windows command line executable is
provided in the zip package, but the source is cross-platform and has
been successfully built on several architectures. E.g. YAZ Proxy by
IndexData (http://www.indexdata.dk/yazproxy/) can be built with
USEMARCON support allowing on the fly format conversions.

Version 3 adds many new features and fixes. A complete change log is
available at
<http://www.bl.uk/services/bibliographic/pdf_files/usemarcon_changes.pdf>.

Regards,

Ere Maijala
