 When Record Sets are ingested into the NNELS website through Drupal, the .xml file will be parsed and each Marc field will have its contents uploaded in Drupal.  For example, the parser will know that the 520 field is a summary of the book/material and that the 245 field contains the title of the work.  Some fields are not parsed, and so are less important to the process (we don't necessarily remove those fields, as we still want to maintain good Marc records). When Record Sets are ingested into the NNELS website through Drupal, the .xml file will be parsed and each Marc field will have its contents uploaded in Drupal.  For example, the parser will know that the 520 field is a summary of the book/material and that the 245 field contains the title of the work.  Some fields are not parsed, and so are less important to the process (we don't necessarily remove those fields, as we still want to maintain good Marc records).
