 NNELS is constantly adding ebook and audiobook content to its collection. We purchase these files from third parties, such as distributors (like Blackstone Audio, Recorded Books, eBOUND & DeMarque) and publishers.

-When editing records in MarcEdit we want the files to be in .mrk format.  When we receive files from publishers they are generally in either .xml or .mrc format.  In opening screen of MarcEdit there is a button called "MARC Tools".  Click on that, and on the next screen there is a dropdown menu under "Select Operation."  MarcBreaker will convert .mrc to .mrk, and MARC21XML=>MARC21 will convert .xml to .mrc.  Using these 2 tools, we can convert the publisher files into .mrk files for editing.  After editing records in MarcEdit we want to convert them to .xml files to ingest into the NNELS repository ([[public:nnels:publishing:marc21-marcxml|see how to save to XML]]).+When editing records in MarcEdit we want the files to be in .mrk format.  When we receive files from publishers they are generally in either .xml or .mrc format.  In opening screen of MarcEdit there is a button called "MARC Tools".  Click on that, and on the next screen there is a dropdown menu under "Select Operation."  MarcBreaker will convert .mrc to .mrk, and MARC21XML=>MARC21 will convert .xml to .mrc.  Using these 2 tools, we can convert the publisher files into .mrk files for editing.  After editing records in MarcEdit we want to convert them to .xml files to ingest into the NNELS repository ([[nnels:documentation:content:publishing:marc21-marcxml|see how to save to XML]]).
