Has anyone purchased "EAD Tips & Tricks" from SAA? What I got is a
printout of a PowerPoint presentation by Michael Fox, and 2 CDs. The
first CD has audio files and the second CD has a .pdf document that
seems to be the same as the printout. The description in the SAA
Publications catalog says that I should have access to batch files and
XSLT files, but I can't see them anywhere. I have had a lot of trouble
getting the CDs to even be recognized (I tried on 4 different computers,
and can only open it on a laptop) and there is no list anywhere that
says what should be on the CDs.

Hello,
I'd just like to let you all know how the extraction of MARC records
from EAD format has progressed. I ended up using the
EADlitetoMARC21slimXML.xsl
to transform EAD to MARCXML using MARCEdit. I then transformed that
file into a MARC record with the *dat extension, and the cataloger here
at CUA was able to load it into Voyager. I had to make some adjustments
to the stylesheet to include all the correct fields, but that did not
take too long.
