| Welcome to the seventh VuFind® tutorial video. This is a continuation of last month's video about OAI PMH, where we learned how to harvest XML records using tools bundled with VuFind. This month, we are going to look at what to do with those records once we have them and talk about indexing XML generally. | Welcome to the seventh VuFind tutorial video.

| The first thing that I should emphasize is that MARC XML is a special exception. You can use VuFind's standard MARC indexing tools, which we talked about several months ago, to import binary MARC and MARC XML. That is much easier than trying to use the tools we talked about today to index MARC, which is of course extremely complex. So don't overdo your work by trying to load MARC using XSLT. There are other tools available, but for everything else, what we talked about today should be helpful. | The first thing that I should emphasize is that MARC XML is a special exception.
