Thanks Helix

According to our developers our installation is too complex to move to 3.0 (now 
3.1).

They recommended moving to 1.8.2 as it is more stable by now.

But it is good to know that marc is available on 3.1. It will save us a lot of 
money.

Best regards
Rodrigo

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,
