The fidelity seems pretty good, at least if you convert to MARCXML and then use the XSLT from Library of Congress to generate it. IIRC it has record types for all the FRBR levels. It is also not flat like DC. It was a joy to work with fr

I never really worked with MARC much (except for a script for generating patron records once a quarter to load new students and staff into III and somehow we marked obsolete users to change their status) but I used to work at the successor

Why does your bank have your photo id? I've never heard of a bank record having a photo attached.

My Dad died in the south, and I had to write his obituary and publish it in the local paper. The paper wanted me to publish the address of where I was staying so that people would know where to bring food, but I left that bit out. I did n

I thought BSD being free was part of the consent decree from AT&T vs Regents. The technology transfer office would never sign off on open source license, even in the early 2000s. You would have to make and end run around them to offic
