+MARC parser
+
+This code is intended to parse code in the MARC format[1] from the
+Israeli National Library.
+
+An example minimal file is included in the repository under test_data.
+A more complete data set could be downloaded from
+https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/5ae37fc7985ddd1966b8c397cd2133a820160918061533/408158
+
+The code is Python 3. You can run a test with:
+
+  PYTHONPATH=. python3 readers/xml_reader.py
+  PYTHONPATH=. python3 testers/factorytester.py
+
+TODO: it seems to require adding the top-level directory to the
+PYTHONPATH.
