− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 00: | + | |00:35 |
− | | | + | |Before moving ahead, please ensure that you have the following on your machine- |
− | + | '''Windows 10, 8 '''or''' 7''', | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | ''' | + | |- |
+ | | 00:45 | ||
+ | | Any web browser. For eg: '''Internet Explorer, Firefox''' or '''Google Chrome.''' | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 00: | + | | 00:53 |
− | | | + | | Earlier in the same series, we had installed '''MarcEdit 7 '''on the '''Desktop.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 01:00 |
− | | | + | | Open the same '''MarcEdit 7 '''by double-clicking on the icon. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 01: | + | | 01:07 |
− | | | + | | A window named '''MarcEdit 7.0.250 By Terry Reese '''opens. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 01: | + | | 01:15 |
− | | | + | | Locate and click on the tab '''Export Tab Delimited Text.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 01: | + | | 01:21 |
− | | | + | | Under the '''Source File''' field, locate the icon for a '''folder.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 01: | + | | 01:27 |
− | | | + | |The '''source file''' is an '''Excel file''' which we are converting into '''.mrk''' format. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 01: | + | | 01:34 |
− | | | + | | Click on this icon for the '''Folder''' and browse for the '''Excel''' file in the '''field''' for '''File name'''. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 01: | + | | 01:42 |
− | | Click on | + | | Click on the drop-down adjacent to '''File name.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 01: | + | | 01:46 |
− | | | + | | If you have''' Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP/2003 (.xls) '''then choose the format '''Excel File(*.xls).''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | |02:03 |
− | | | + | | And if you have, '''Microsoft Excel 2007/2010/2013 XML(.xlsx) '''then choose the format '''Excel File(*.xlsx).''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | |02: | + | | 02:21 |
− | | | + | | As I have the '''.(dot)xlsx ''' file, I will select '''Excel XML File(*.xlsx).''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 02: | + | | 02:32 |
− | | | + | | Next, go to the left-side folders and select the folder where your '''Excel file '''is saved. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 02: | + | | 02:40 |
− | | | + | |I have selected '''Downloads '''because that’s where I saved my '''Excel file'''. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 02: | + | | 02:47 |
− | | | + | | So, from the '''Downloads''' folder, I have selected '''TestData.xlsx.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 02: | + | | 02:55 |
− | | | + | | When the file '''TestData.xlsx '''is selected, it appears in the '''File name''' field. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 03:04 |
− | | | + | | Now, click on the '''Open '''button at the bottom of the window. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:09 |
− | | | + | | The same window re-opens with the '''Source File '''as '''C:\Users\spoken\Downloads\TestData.xlsx'''. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:21 |
− | | | + | | Now, click on the folder icon adjacent to the '''Output File.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:27 |
− | | | + | | On doing so, '''Save File '''window opens prompting us to fill in the '''File name.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:34 |
− | | On | + | | On the same window, I will click on the '''Downloads '''folder located at the left hand side. |
− | + | And, type the '''File name: '''as '''TestData'''. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | |- | |
+ | | 03:46 | ||
+ | |Now click on '''Save '''button at the bottom of the page. | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 03: | + | | 03:51 |
− | | | + | | The same window appears again. |
− | + | The '''Output file''' field shows: '''C:\Users\spoken\Downloads\TestData.mrk'''. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | |- | |
+ | | 04:06 | ||
+ | | Note that '''Excel Sheet Name: Sheet1 '''gets selected automatically by '''MarcEdit 7.''' | ||
− | + | However, this '''sheet''' name is editable. | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | |- | |
+ | | 04:20 | ||
+ | | Under the Section '''Options,''' the check-box''' UTF-8 Encoded''' is selected by '''MarcEdit 7, '''by default. | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 04: | + | | 04:32 |
− | | | + | | Click on the '''Next '''button at the right side of the same window. |
− | + | |- | |
+ | | 04:37 | ||
+ | | Again a new window, '''MarcEdit Delimited Text Translator '''opens. | ||
− | + | The heading says '''Data Snapshot.''' | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 04: | + | | 04:48 |
− | | | + | | This window will have all the '''field''' details as per entries made in the '''Excel file.''' |
− | + | |- | |
+ | | 04:55 | ||
+ | | We will see the '''Fields''' ranging from '''0 '''to''' 8''' and above with their corresponding values. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 05:03 | ||
+ | | For example, '''Field 0 '''has a value of '''978-3-319-47238-6 (ISBN)''' on my machine. | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 05:17 |
− | | | + | | You may see a different value as per your '''Excel sheet.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 05:22 |
− | | | + | | Under the section''' DataSnapshot, '''locate the section '''Settings.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 05: | + | | 05:28 |
− | | | + | |Go to the tab '''Select '''and from the drop-down select '''Field 0.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 05: | + | | 05:35 |
− | | | + | |With this we will be doing the '''mapping''' of '''Excel data''' with '''Koha MARC Tags.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 05: | + | | 05:43 |
− | | | + | | Remember, you can customize '''Map To: '''and '''Indicators.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 05: | + | | 05:49 |
− | | | + | |However, it is important that the '''Fields '''and '''Subfield Codes '''are as per the '''Koha MARC Tag.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 05: | + | | 05:58 |
− | | | + | |For more information on '''MARC Tags, '''visit the link of official '''Library of Congress''' site. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 06:07 |
− | | | + | |On the browser, type this URL and click on '''search'''. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 06:15 |
− | | | + | | Recall that '''Map To: '''values entered in the field are referred from an earlier tutorial in this series. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 06:24 |
− | | | + | | I will enter '''020$a '''in the '''Map To:''' field. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 06: | + | | 06:31 |
− | | | + | |This sequence will change as per your '''Excel data'''. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 06: | + | |06:36 |
− | | | + | | I will leave '''Indicators: '''and '''Term. Punctuation: '''as they are. |
− | + | |- | |
+ | | 06:42 | ||
+ | | However, you may fill these fields as directed by the '''Koha MARC Tags.''' | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 06: | + | | 06:49 |
− | | | + | | Next is the check-box for '''Constant Data.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | |06: | + | | 06:54 |
− | | | + | |Click this if you wish to '''map''' the same information into the data field for each entry, in the delimited text document. |
− | + | |- | |
+ | | 07:04 | ||
+ | | Click '''Repeatable subfield '''if you want to repeat the same '''subfield'''. | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 07:10 |
− | | Next | + | | Next, click on the button '''Add Argument.''' |
− | + | |- | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | |- | + | |
| 07:15 | | 07:15 | ||
− | | | + | |On doing so, the value '''0 020$a 0 '''appears in the field under the section '''Arguments.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 07: | + | | 07:25 |
− | | | + | | Similarly, let’s map all the other '''fields'''. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 07: | + | | 07:30 |
− | | | + | |Under the section '''Settings''', go to '''Select. '''From the drop- down, select '''Field 1. ''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 07: | + | | 07:39 |
− | | | + | | In the '''field''' for '''Map To, '''type: '''080$a.''' |
− | + | |- | |
+ | | 07:46 | ||
+ | | Now, click on the button''' Add Argument.''' | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 07: | + | | 07:50 |
− | | | + | | On doing so, the value '''1 080$a 0 '''appears in the field under the section '''Arguments.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 08:01 |
− | | | + | | Under the tab '''Select, '''from the drop-down, select '''Field 2.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 08:07 |
− | |In the field for ''' | + | | In the field for '''Map To, '''type: '''100$a. ''' |
− | + | |- | |
+ | | 08:13 | ||
+ | |In the field for '''Indicators, '''type '''1.''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 08:17 | ||
+ | | Note that '''1 '''is the first indicator of '''tag 100''' and it represents the '''Surname '''for the '''subfield ‘a’.''' | ||
− | + | |- | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | |- | + | |
| 08:28 | | 08:28 | ||
− | | | + | | Likewise, complete the mapping of all the fields up to '''Field 13 '''as being shown in the drop-down under '''Select'''. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 08: | + | | 08:39 |
− | | | + | | Notice the up and down arrows adjacent to each field. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 08: | + | | 08:44 |
− | | | + | |You may use these to change the sequence of the values that appear. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 08: | + | | 08:50 |
− | | | + | | Under the section '''Arguments, '''the''' Tags''' that are common with different '''sub-fields''' need to be joined. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | | + | | 08:58 |
− | | | + | |For that, do the following- Select common tags for example '''245$a''' and '''245$c'''. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 09: | + | | 09:09 |
− | | | + | | Then right-click on common tags and from drop-down select '''Join Items.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 09: | + | | 09:17 |
− | | | + | | This will create a grouping of the fields that are with the same type. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 09: | + | | 09:23 |
− | | | + | | Note that the '''<nowiki>* </nowiki>'''(asterisk symbol) will appear before the selected '''Tags.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 09: | + | | 09:29 |
− | | | + | |The '''<nowiki>* </nowiki>'''asterisk symbol indicates that the common '''tags''' are now joined. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 09: | + | | 09:35 |
− | | | + | | Alternately, you can do the mapping of '''fields''' by clicking on the tab '''Auto Generate''' to '''import''' the values of respective fields from 0 to 13, in the fields provided for '''Arguments.''' |
− | + | |- | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | |- | + | |
| 09:52 | | 09:52 | ||
− | | | + | |However, I have done mapping manually. So, I will not click '''Auto Generate''' option. |
+ | |||
+ | |- | ||
+ | | 09:59 | ||
+ | | Next we see four options. | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | |10: | + | | 10:02 |
− | | | + | | First one is '''Save Template.''' |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 10: | + | | 10:06 |
− | | | + | | Use this if you want to save the same '''mapping''' for future use. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 10: | + | | 10:12 |
− | | | + | | The '''saved template''' will be used if in case you face any problem with data conversion. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 10: | + | |10:20 |
− | | | + | | If we choose the option '''Save Template,''' then we will be prompted to give it a name and specify the directory for saving it. |
− | + | |- | |
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | + | ||
− | |- | + | |
| 10:31 | | 10:31 | ||
− | | | + | |It will get saved as '''.mrd file''' |
− | + | |- | |
+ | | 10:36 | ||
+ | | Access this '''template '''in the future by clicking “'''Load Template” '''at the right side of the window. | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 10: | + | | 10:44 |
− | | | + | | Second option is '''Sort Fields.''' |
− | + | |- | |
+ | | 10:48 | ||
+ | | Third option is''' Calculate common nonfiling data'''. | ||
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 10: | + | | 10:54 |
− | | | + | | Fourth option is''' Ignore Header Row.''' |
|- | |- | ||
− | | | + | |10:58 |
− | | | + | |Click here, if you have a header in the '''Excel sheet '''and if you need to ignore the headings. |
− | |- | + | |- |
− | | 11: | + | | 11:05 |
− | | | + | | Among these, '''Sort Fields''' and '''Calculate common nonfiling data''' are auto-selected by '''MarcEdit 7.''' |
|- | |- | ||
− | | 11: | + | |11:15 |
− | | | + | |I will leave them as they are. |
− | + | |- | |
+ | | 11:18 | ||
+ | | Now, I will check the check-box for '''Save Template '''and''' Ignore Header Row.''' | ||

00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on conversion of Excel data to Marc 21 format. |
00:09 | In this tutorial, we will learn to convert Excel data to Marc 21 format on a 64-bit Windows machine. |
00:19 | To record this tutorial, I am using: Windows 10 Pro and
Firefox web browser. |
00:29 | To follow this tutorial, learners should be familiar with Library Science. |
00:35 | Before moving ahead, please ensure that you have the following on your machine-
Windows 10, 8 or 7, |
00:45 | Any web browser. For eg: Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome. |
00:53 | Earlier in the same series, we had installed MarcEdit 7 on the Desktop. |
01:00 | Open the same MarcEdit 7 by double-clicking on the icon. |
01:07 | A window named MarcEdit 7.0.250 By Terry Reese opens. |
01:15 | Locate and click on the tab Export Tab Delimited Text. |
01:21 | Under the Source File field, locate the icon for a folder. |
01:27 | The source file is an Excel file which we are converting into .mrk format. |
01:34 | Click on this icon for the Folder and browse for the Excel file in the field for File name. |
01:42 | Click on the drop-down adjacent to File name. |
01:46 | If you have Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP/2003 (.xls) then choose the format Excel File(*.xls). |
02:03 | And if you have, Microsoft Excel 2007/2010/2013 XML(.xlsx) then choose the format Excel File(*.xlsx). |
02:21 | As I have the .(dot)xlsx file, I will select Excel XML File(*.xlsx). |
02:32 | Next, go to the left-side folders and select the folder where your Excel file is saved. |
02:40 | I have selected Downloads because that’s where I saved my Excel file. |
02:47 | So, from the Downloads folder, I have selected TestData.xlsx. |
02:55 | When the file TestData.xlsx is selected, it appears in the File name field. |
03:04 | Now, click on the Open button at the bottom of the window. |
03:09 | The same window re-opens with the Source File as C:\Users\spoken\Downloads\TestData.xlsx. |
03:21 | Now, click on the folder icon adjacent to the Output File. |
03:27 | On doing so, Save File window opens prompting us to fill in the File name. |
03:34 | On the same window, I will click on the Downloads folder located at the left hand side.
And, type the File name: as TestData. |
03:46 | Now click on Save button at the bottom of the page. |
03:51 | The same window appears again.
The Output file field shows: C:\Users\spoken\Downloads\TestData.mrk. |
04:06 | Note that Excel Sheet Name: Sheet1 gets selected automatically by MarcEdit 7.
However, this sheet name is editable. |
04:20 | Under the Section Options, the check-box UTF-8 Encoded is selected by MarcEdit 7, by default. |
04:32 | Click on the Next button at the right side of the same window. |
04:37 | Again a new window, MarcEdit Delimited Text Translator opens.
The heading says Data Snapshot. |
04:48 | This window will have all the field details as per entries made in the Excel file. |
04:55 | We will see the Fields ranging from 0 to 8 and above with their corresponding values. |
05:03 | For example, Field 0 has a value of 978-3-319-47238-6 (ISBN) on my machine. |
05:17 | You may see a different value as per your Excel sheet. |
05:22 | Under the section DataSnapshot, locate the section Settings. |
05:28 | Go to the tab Select and from the drop-down select Field 0. |
05:35 | With this we will be doing the mapping of Excel data with Koha MARC Tags. |
05:43 | Remember, you can customize Map To: and Indicators. |
05:49 | However, it is important that the Fields and Subfield Codes are as per the Koha MARC Tag. |
05:58 | For more information on MARC Tags, visit the link of official Library of Congress site. |
06:07 | On the browser, type this URL and click on search. |
06:15 | Recall that Map To: values entered in the field are referred from an earlier tutorial in this series. |
06:24 | I will enter 020$a in the Map To: field. |
06:31 | This sequence will change as per your Excel data. |
06:36 | I will leave Indicators: and Term. Punctuation: as they are. |
06:42 | However, you may fill these fields as directed by the Koha MARC Tags. |
06:49 | Next is the check-box for Constant Data. |
06:54 | Click this if you wish to map the same information into the data field for each entry, in the delimited text document. |
07:04 | Click Repeatable subfield if you want to repeat the same subfield. |
07:10 | Next, click on the button Add Argument. |
07:15 | On doing so, the value 0 020$a 0 appears in the field under the section Arguments. |
07:25 | Similarly, let’s map all the other fields. |
07:30 | Under the section Settings, go to Select. From the drop- down, select Field 1. |
07:39 | In the field for Map To, type: 080$a. |
07:46 | Now, click on the button Add Argument. |
07:50 | On doing so, the value 1 080$a 0 appears in the field under the section Arguments. |
08:01 | Under the tab Select, from the drop-down, select Field 2. |
08:07 | In the field for Map To, type: 100$a. |
08:13 | In the field for Indicators, type 1. |
08:17 | Note that 1 is the first indicator of tag 100 and it represents the Surname for the subfield ‘a’. |
08:28 | Likewise, complete the mapping of all the fields up to Field 13 as being shown in the drop-down under Select. |
08:39 | Notice the up and down arrows adjacent to each field. |
08:44 | You may use these to change the sequence of the values that appear. |
08:50 | Under the section Arguments, the Tags that are common with different sub-fields need to be joined. |
08:58 | For that, do the following- Select common tags for example 245$a and 245$c. |
09:09 | Then right-click on common tags and from drop-down select Join Items. |
09:17 | This will create a grouping of the fields that are with the same type. |
09:23 | Note that the * (asterisk symbol) will appear before the selected Tags. |
09:29 | The * asterisk symbol indicates that the common tags are now joined. |
09:35 | Alternately, you can do the mapping of fields by clicking on the tab Auto Generate to import the values of respective fields from 0 to 13, in the fields provided for Arguments. |
09:52 | However, I have done mapping manually. So, I will not click Auto Generate option. |
09:59 | Next we see four options. |
10:02 | First one is Save Template. |
10:06 | Use this if you want to save the same mapping for future use. |
10:12 | The saved template will be used if in case you face any problem with data conversion. |
10:20 | If we choose the option Save Template, then we will be prompted to give it a name and specify the directory for saving it. |
10:31 | It will get saved as .mrd file |
10:36 | Access this template in the future by clicking “Load Template” at the right side of the window. |
10:44 | Second option is Sort Fields. |
10:48 | Third option is Calculate common nonfiling data. |
10:54 | Fourth option is Ignore Header Row. |
10:58 | Click here, if you have a header in the Excel sheet and if you need to ignore the headings. |
11:05 | Among these, Sort Fields and Calculate common nonfiling data are auto-selected by MarcEdit 7. |
11:15 | I will leave them as they are. |
11:18 | Now, I will check the check-box for Save Template and Ignore Header Row. |
11:26 | Next, locate and click on the tab Finish on the top right corner of the page. |
11:34 | On doing so, Save File window opens, prompting us to fill in the File name. |
11:41 | On the same window, I will click on the Downloads folder, located at the left hand side. |
11:48 | And, in the field for File name, I will type TestData. |
11:54 | Now, click on Save button at the bottom of the page. |
11:59 | A pop-up window with the message: Process has been finished. Records saved to:
C:\Users\Spoken\Download\TestData.mrk opens. |
12:14 | Click on the Ok button at the bottom of this dialog-box. |
12:19 | With this, .mrk file has been successfully saved in the directed location which is the Downloads folder. |
12:29 | A new page MarcEdit 7.0.250 By Terry Reese, opens.
Locate and click on the icon MarcEditor. |
12:42 | A new page MarcEditor opens.
On the main Menu, click on File and from the drop- down select Open. |
12:55 | A window Open File opens showing TestData.mrk file. |
13:02 | Click and select the TestData.mrk file. |
13:07 | It will show in the field for File name. |
13:11 | Now click on Open at the bottom of the window. |
13:16 | Another window MarcEditor: TestData.mrk opens with all the details. |
13:24 | On the same window, from the main menu, click on the File. |
13:29 | Now, from the drop-down select Compile File into MARC. |
13:35 | Another new window Save File opens. |
13:39 | Here, locate File Name: and type the appropriate name in the field. |
13:46 | I will type TestData. |
13:50 | Koha, by default, selects MARC Files (*.mrc) in the field Save as type:. |
14:00 | Now, click on the Save button located at the bottom of the window. |
14:06 | Upon doing so, on the same window at the bottom, you will see 5 records processed in 0.166228 seconds. |
14:19 | This is because I imported only 5 records. You will see a different number of records and processed time as per your data. |
14:29 | With this, we have converted Excel data of our library into Marc 21 format successfully. |
14:37 | Marc 21 format is the standard format used in Koha for cataloging and importing data into Koha. |
14:46 | Now, close this window. To do so, go to the top right corner and click on the Close button. |
14:55 | Let us summarize. In this tutorial, we have learnt to- convert Excel data to Marc 21 format on a 64-bit Windows machine. |
15:08 | Assignment:
