+====== Learn about: Using RIMMF. Tutorial #13, Import a Bib record from a library catalog (LC) ======
+In this tutorial, we are going to learn about importing a Bib record from the LC Catalog directly, i.e., not using <F3>.
+===== Open RIMMF =====
+  * Open RIMMF
+  * Make sure that you are using the 'Goudge' data folder that you created in [[detailstutorial1|Tutorial #1]]
+  * If necessary, change to that data folder (see: [[howto:changedatafolder|Change to a different folder of RIMMF records]])
+==== Alternate: Use a pre-built folder ====
+If you want to jump to this tutorial without doing the previous tutorials, follow the [[menu:downloadweb | "Download Web Folder" instructions]] and download the following folder from our website:
+  * http://rimmf.com/data/zips/AfterTutorial_12.zip
+  If you intend to use this file to proceed through the remaining tutorials,
+    remember that it is located in your '\RIMMF3\imports\zip' folder.
+===== Find and Export a Bib Record from the LC Catalog (not using <F3>) =====
+  * Stay at the Main Menu
+  If you cannot find a hit in the LC database for something, using <F3>
+    you can go to the LC public catalog directly and download a MARC record
+    and import that record to RIMMF.
+  You can also follow these steps to get records from any catalog
+    that allows export of MARC records from the public catalog
+    or from which you have cataloging access, and so can export
+    a MARC record (e.g., from OCLC, if you are a member)
+  * In your browser Go to: http://catalog.loc.gov/
+  * Search: **"I saw three ships" Goudge**
+  * Open the record for: "I saw three ships : a magical Christmas tale / by Elizabeth Goudge ; illustrated by Margot Tomes."
+  * Click the <Save Record> option (far left of the screen)
+  * Save format: MARC (Unicode/UTF-8)
+    * Click <Save>
+  * Save the record to somewhere where you can find it easily (e.g., your Desktop)
+  Unless you rename it, a record that you export from the LC catalog
+    will be called 'records.mrc'.
+===== Import the Bib Record =====
+  * Find the record
+  * Drag and drop the record onto the RIMMF Main form
+  Notice that this process works exactly like an <F3> import does,
+    and we are going to import 2 records:
+    Contributor, and Manifestation;
+    and create 2 records:
+    Work, Expression;
+    and link to Author (which we already have)
+  * Click the down arrow by the <Import> button
+    * Select <Selected records>
+    * Click <OK> for '4 records imported'
+===== Check the Manifestation =====
+  * Double-click on the Manifestation heading in the R-Tree
+  * View the source record:
+    * <Ctrl+Alt+S>
+  Notice that the Statement of Responsibility is nicely
+    split into two statements (because of the semicolon ( ; )
+  Everything else in the record looks fine.
+===== Check the Expression =====
+  * Go to the Expression ([E] button)
+  Look at the MARC record, to see whether there is anything
+    you could add or edit in the Expression data.
+  Notice "music" in the  300$b
+  * Add another 'Content Type' element to the Expression:
+    * Put your cursor on 'Content Type'
+    * <F2>
+    * In the new Text box, type: "**notated**"
+    * Choose 'notated music' from the list
+  If you feel that the illustrations could also warrant another
+    'Content Type', then add 'still image' as a third 'Content Type'
+  * Add another 'Content Type' element to the Expression:
+    * Put your cursor on 'Content Type'
+    * <F2>
+    * In the new Text box, type: "**still**"
+    * Choose 'still image' from the list
+  * Save the record
+===== Check the Work =====
+  * Go to the Work
+  Notice that RIMMF brought over the 521
+    as 'Intended Audience';
+    and brought over one subject heading
+    and two classification numbers
+    as subject relationships.
+===== View the R-Tree =====
+  * Click <R-Tree>, from the Work record
+  * Expand the Expression
+  * Switch to the R-Tree for the Goudge record
+    * <right-click> on the Goudge heading
+    * choose <R-Tree this>
+  Notice that all of the relationship labels are correctly given
+    as 'Author of'
+===== End this Tutorial =====
+  * Close everything
+If you are finished playing with RIMMF for now, close RIMMF. If you want to proceed, go to [[detailstutorial14|Tutorial #14]]
