Importing to eprints from Sirsidynix Symphony LMS
2:03 pm in Uncategorized by Bernard Scaife
We need to do this for our new DERA repository because a lot of the records of e-only official publications – complete with
their often broken links 
are already catalogued there. I can export the records as marc exchange from the system, used the fantastic MarcEdit tool to convert to MARC21XML and then use a custom php script to convert this to EP3XML for importing. I’ve done this successfully in our “traditional” eprints repository. For example, to import theses records where we now have some digitised abstracts to link in.
It all works fairly smoothly although there is bound to be a simpler way. Would be interested to know what do others do.
