+====== Using RIMMF. Tutorial #18, Export a MARC Bib record for a WEMI set ======
+In this tutorial, we are going to export a set of records for a resource (Work, Expression, Manifestation, and any linked Person, Family or Corporate Body records) as a MARC Bib record.
+This export is being done on a set that we created from scratch, using [[howto:buildwem|Build WEM]], but will work the same for any set of RIMMF records.
+You can also export individual Work, Expression, Person, Family, or Corporate Body records as MARC Authority records.
+Be aware that we are still working on mapping RIMMF RDA to MARC, and so you will have to edit the MARC results, to a greater or lesser degree depending how far along we are with the mapping for any given issue.
+===== 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_17.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 the record to export =====
+  * Open the Manifestation record that you want to export:
+    * Find: The valley of song. Coward-McCann. [1952]. Volume
+    * Open the record
+===== View MARC =====
+  * Choose: Options | MARC (Mapped) View <Ctrl+M>
+  This displays a text view of how the resulting MARC Bib record will look.
+===== Export MARC =====
+  * Return to the Manifestation
+  * Choose: File | [[menu:saveasmarc|Export to MARC <Shift+F7>]]
+  Although it looks like nothing happened,
+    (except that the RIMMF ID and the Composite Key heading for the record
+    now has "+MARC" attached at the end)
+    the MARC Bib record was exported to your 'RIMMF3' folder
+    in a subfolder called 'exports';
+    named with the RIMMF Identifier of the Manifestation.
+  * Find the MARC record and open it in some sort of MARC software, for editing either before or after you import it to your ILS
+  If you export a Work, Expression, Person, Family, or Corporate Body
+    RIMMF record to MARC, it will create a MARC Authority record.
+===== Send to MARC Report =====
+If you have a copy of our [[http://www.marcofquality.com/soft/softindex.html|MARC Report software]]:
+  * Choose: File | [[menu:sendtomrt|Send to MARC Report <Shift+F8>]]
+  This exports the MARC Bib record to your 'RIMMF3' folder
+    in a subfolder called 'exports';
+    named with the RIMMF Identifier of the Manifestation;
+    and opens the record in a MARC tagged template,
+    ready for editing.
+===== End this Tutorial =====
+  * Close everything
+If you are finished playing with RIMMF for now, close RIMMF. If you want to proceed, go to [[detailstutorial19|Tutorial #19]]
