Hello, I am new to the list and I hope I can make both a positive 
contribution as well as learn from this list. 

At the current time I am working on a project with a member of our 
systems group that will create a skeletal records in Oracle that we 
hope to dump on a weekly basis and import into our catalogue. 

I know this may not be the exact place to ask this, however in going 
through the archives I came accross a posting by Karen Schneider where 
just that question was posed. Since that post, I believe she has moved 
on to somewhere else other than the EPA. 

Currently we do not get our MARC records from anywhere, LC or OCLC. 
However, I need to be able to define a couple of other things  for our 
guys to get anything close to a semblance of a MARC record. I do have 
the CAN/MARC book which defines the standard and what character 
positions things fall into. 

What would really help if there was someone who could send me a couple 
of true MARC records from LC for Monographs. Or if they could point me 
in the right direction.

TIA

Bill Pawlowsky
