You can convert MARC records to non‑MARC format. Horizon puts a non‑MARC interface over the MARC record. This makes it easy to convert the non‑MARC record back to MARC format. However, if you convert a MARC record to a non‑MARC format, any control fields (tags 001‑008) that may have existed in the MARC bib record are removed. You lose the information that is contained in them. Converting the record back to MARC format does not restore the information.
Only MARC records can be exported. You must convert a non‑MARC record to MARC format to export it.
