Dear All The INFLIBNET Centre has developed a open source tool for converting Excel data in to MARCXML. The tool helps in by-passing various steps of converting Excel data in to ISO 2709 format for loading in to any LMS system and converts data in to MARCXML which is based on MARC21. Once the data is converted in MARCXML, the bibliographic records can easily be loaded into the SOUL2.0 without any data loss. The conversion tool is made available for download under the open source copyright act at sourceforge website http://excel2marcxml.sourceforge.net/. This is second open source initiative from the INFLIBNET Centre. To know more about the conversion tool, you can visit the INFLIBNET Blog on http://www.inflibnet.ac.in/blog.
