Converting EndNote Records to MARC Format

	Computer catalogs of major libraries offer
excellent repositories for large specialty
bibliographies created by EndNote and other PC based
bibliographic systems.  Almost all major libraries use
the MARC system from the Library of Congress for their
computer catalogs.  The MARC system, unfortuntely, lacks
the ability to easily import tagged records from other
platforms.
	
(Sorry if you've seen this before but it wasn't put on Usenet)
Center for Library Automation) and I have developed a
simple two step system for converting EndNote records
into MARC records.  The first step is to use an EndNote
style that I developed to produce a MARC-like ASCII
export.  The second step is to use a conversion program
that Mark Hinnebusch developed in QuickBasic to
construct actual MARC records.
	
	These two programs mean that EndNote can be used as
a relatively user-friendly way to add new records to
MARC based library catalogs.  I suspect that ProCite and
other bibliography programs can also produce export
styles compatible with the MARC conversion program.

	My EndNote style will properly format citations in
four EndNote types: Journal, Book Section, Book and
Thesis.  The Record type is used for miscellaneous
citations in which all source information is placed in
the institution field. Other reference types could also
be constructed provided care was taken to map EndNote
fields to appropriate MARC fields.
	
	This system was designed for use on IBM PC's but it
is accessible to Macintosh computers through the File
Exchange Folder.  Furthermore both the EndNote style and
the Basic program can probably be converted for use on
Macintosh computers with little modification.  If you
are interested in receiving a copy of the EndNote style
and the conversion program please contact me.

245 1  Invasion of polygyne fire ants decimates native
ants and disrupts arthropod community.
520    We studied the ecological impacts of a polygyne
fire ant invasion on ants and other surface-active
arthropods at a field station in central Texas.  Species
richness of ants in infested areas dropped by 70%, while
the total number of native individuals dropped by 90%. 
Overall, the species richness of non-ant arthropods was
30% lower in infested sites and individual numbers were
75% lower. These data indicate that polygyne fire ants
pose a substantial threat to the biodiversity of native
arthropod communities.

available.  Input records can be separated in several
ways and several types of subfield markers can be used.)
