Hi Rodrigo, no, DSpace can't do this yet out-of-the-box, as of 3.1. But in the new OAI in DSpace 3, MARC21 XML can be exported out-of-the-box (here's the schema used http://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim.xsd). If you're upgrading from 1.6, I recommend you not to stop at 1.8 but to continue upgrading to 3. It's almost no extra work and you get nice features like this. One more word of warning - the MARC 21 XML format in the new OAI may have a few bugs due to being new and not being tested so much yet, but 1) it's very easy to change by tweaking just one XSLT file 2) we'd appreciate if you report any problems so that we can fix it in DSpace Regards, ~~helix84 Compulsory reading: DSpace Mailing List Etiquette https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Mailing+List+Etiquette ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
