Leveraging language codes in a stylesheet transformation: OLAC (ISO 639-3) into MARC

• Author(s) / Creator(s)

• At University of Alberta Libraries (UAL), the ability to generate MARC records from existing metadata using a stylesheet transformation was a prerequisite for a recent plan to improve discovery and access for a collection of data resources. This poster shows how ISO 639-3 language codes in the source metadata were transformed into LC subject headings and MARC language encodings for approximately 750 records. It was exhibited at the 2019 North American DDI Conference in Ottawa, Canada.
