Repurposing MARC Metadata for an Institutional Repository

Abstract

This paper describes the processes and workflows that transform Machine-Readable
Cataloging (MARC) records found in The Ohio States University's
library catalog into Dublin Core (DC) records for digital resources
batch loaded into the Knowledge Bank, The Ohio State University's
institutional repository. Two projects are described to illustrate the
processes and workflows: the open-access monographs of The Ohio State
University Press and the oral history collections of The Ohio State
University Byrd Polar Research Center Archival Program.
