[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Where do the MARC templates come from?

[Brent Mills]

Hi Jennifer,

I would also make sure your custom, non-default templates (if you’re using them) have the included *.xml files in the /openils/var/templates_custom/marc directory and that there aren’t any typos in the XML files and the filenames.

My first check would be to make sure the files are actually there and don’t have mangled names, then move on to further troubleshooting.

For additional templates, Jason Stephenson generously made some of MVLC’s templates available <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=b6311d405a73434442d17e6938765475d295047b> a while back.

A year or two ago I did some searching around and found where several other consortiums had shared their own collections they had made (because I'd rather re-use than re-invent).  There is probably more information on the wiki and/or checking irc logs assuming you've already searched email histories.
