document: Mapping CCF to MARC21 : an experimental approach The purpose of this article is to raise and address a number of issues pertaining to the conversion of Common Communication Format -LRB- CCF -RRB- into MARC21 . In this era of global resource sharing , exchange of bibliographic records from one system to another is imperative in today 's library communities . Instead of using a single standard to create machine-readable catalogue records , more than 20 standards have emerged and are being used by different institutions . Because of these variations in standards , sharing of resources and transfer of data from one system to another among the institutions locally and globally has become a significant problem . Addressing this problem requires keeping in mind that countries such as India and others in southeast Asia are using the CCF as a standard for creating bibliographic cataloguing records . This paper describes a way to map the bibliographic catalogue records from CCF to MARC21 , although 100 % mapping is not possible . In addition , the paper describes an experimental approach that enumerates problems that may occur during the mapping of records/exchanging of records and how these problems can be overcome
