Bug Description

Karen points out it'd be nice for libraries if we had an SRU interface that returned MARC records so that they didn't have to buy records. This is probably a low priority since we're focused on API and web users at the moment, but it'd be a nice service.

We're not going to generate MARC records, do we still want to provide SRU, or can I close this bug?

Funny thing is, when I mentioned this to Brewster yesterday, just to confirm his opinion, he said "MARC export would be a nice feature".

So, that means we should keep this around, but there's no way we can work on it until Upstream is out the door.

We can provide SRU for books with a MARC record. If a book doesn't have a MARC record it won't be available via SRU.
