Yeah, the default in ruby-marc for encodings that _aren't_ MARC8 are to ignore bad bytes entirely -- leave them in the MARC::Record as bad bytes. This is likely end up raising an exception later when you try to DO something with those Strings, but was left this way for backwards compatiblity re

We run into this problem fairly regularly, and in fact, ran into it on Monday with ruby-marc. The way we've traditionally handled it is to put our marc stream through a cleanup preprocessor before passing it off to a marc parser (ruby marc or marc4j). The preprocessor can do one of two thing
