-This document is a work in progress but puts in place the basics for harvesting the University's ETD dissertations, masters theses,MFA theses and LARP terminal projects in Scholarworks via an OAI-PMH crosswalk using an XML and XSLT script.

-Compare the list of names against the 'packing list' spreadsheet provided by the Graduate School.  (This is easier to do if you alphabetically sort the MarcEditor list via Tools -> Sort by.) There may be ETDs with earlier publication dates which already have in-house cataloged records in OCLC and Aleph. Delete any records which would generate duplicate bib records.  There may also be Master of Fine Arts ETDs in the packing list. These will be in the englmfa_masters set and will need to be harvested separately. Occasionally there are names on the packing list which are not harvested at all. The cause of these will need to be investigated separately.

 This will run the harvested records through the MarcEdit task list. Save the results to your hard drive as a .mrk file (ex: C:\Crosswalk\Temp\OAIMastersFeb2015.mrk)

 ==Checking for Bad Characters==
-The XSLT crosswalk script will automatically convert up any non-comforming punctuation (single left and right quotation marks, left and right double quotation marks, En dash, Em dash) but at this time (3/9/2016) it cannot covert bad diacritics.  The following instructions are for correcting each record by hand in Connexion.

 Each record with a bad character is listed by number and shows the MARC field involved as well as the codes for each bad character.  Set this list aside.
