Interesting, if only because it shows how MARC data records could be created
or viewed using a graphic interface created in MS Access (which is an
approach
I was thinking of). However, the sample refers to a film rather than a
phonorecord
(or other type of sound recording) thus, many of the fields would either not
apply
or not have the information known if used to catalog phonorecords...
