Application Summary

MARCView and MARConvert are two products generated from the same C++ codebase. We offer this code and documentation to the community free and without obligation, under the Apache 2.0 license.

MARCView

MARCView is an easy-to-use Windows program to view, search, and print any file of MARC21, UNIMARC, or MARCXML bibliographic or authority records. Records are formatted for easy viewing. Although MARCView handles files of any number of records, searching is linear, so becomes slower for large files; about a million records is the practical limit for searching. The size of the file must be less than 2 GB.

MARCView a simple file viewer. As such, it tries to read anything readable and does not ask the user much. For example, it ignores characters between records if it can. It does not report character conversion problems since the user can't do anything about them and they won't interfere with viewing. It does not report minor validation errors. This simplicity means that certain limitations are hard to fix.

MARConvert

MARConvert is a Windows application used to make custom conversions, especially when other programs were not customizable enough. Typically Systems Planning would modify the code for each client. Since we could modify the source code, virtually any kind of conversion was possible.
