Cataloging Records in CatfilePlus and Serfile Available for Download in MARCXML Format. NLM Tech Bull. 2021 Jan-Feb;(438):b6.
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) would like to remind users that cataloging records in CatfilePlus and Serfile are available for download in MARCXML format. NLM strongly encourages users of our cataloging data to look at and experiment with this format, which is one that is widely used throughout the cataloging community. NLM is moving in the direction of storing and distributing its data in more commonly used formats and standards where possible.
Files for CatfilePlus and Serfile can be downloaded in MARCXML from the Download Catalog Record Data page. The naming convention for these files gives the name of the database and the posting date with a suffix of ".marcxml.xml," e.g., catplus.20200501.marcxml.xml.
