Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Proquest dissertation XML?

I actually wrote a simple one for someone else and include it in MarcEdit, or, for download to MarcEdit from the xslt registry the program uses (wish I would have been paying attention realizing someone else did this work) -- but I've attached.  This is fairly simplistic, but does the dissertation xml to marcxml.
