MARC Tools


In a few weeks I'm giving a talk on MARC tools.
There are many free tools available to perform specific tasks on MARC records. Proper use of these tools will help to eliminate improper coding, clean up of catalogs, or transform records into another format. Among the tools to be discussed will be MARC RTP, MarcEdit, MarcXGen, and the FRBR Tool from the Library of Congress.
I've started a FURL page for those I may discuss. Am I missing any?
