Format Change for MeSH-MARC and NLM Bibliographic Record Distribution

Boehr D. Format Change for MeSH-MARC and NLM Bibliographic Record Distribution. NLM Tech Bull. 2018 Mar-Apr;(421):e5.

2018 April 09 [posted]

Beginning June 1, 2018, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) plans to start distributing MeSH-MARC files in UTF-8 rather than MARC-8 format.

We also plan to begin distributing NLM bibliographic records in UTF-8 later this year.

If this will be a problem for you or your organization, please contact NLM Customer Support by April 30, 2018.
