How are the OSTI.GOV MARC records created? Is there a file of these records?
OSTI.GOV MARC records are generated by a program that translates the existing OSTI.GOV records into MARC format. This translation occurs when the records are downloaded. Changes made to where data is placed in the MARC record are made to the translation program rather than to individual records. A separate interactive database of the OSTI.GOV MARC records does not exist. However, quarterly, the full set of MARC records is downloaded and put into a zip file that is then made available for download.
