+
+[Jupyter Notebook](Extract_Bibliographic_Info_From_Alma.ipynb) for extracting bibliographic information
+for a given list of AC-numbers.
+
+If you want to try this on your local machine, please take note that you will need to get
+the [catalogue](https://labs.onb.ac.at/gitlab/labs-team/catalogue) module and either move
+*marc_tools/marc_extractor.py* and *sru/almasru.py* to the root of your project or change
+the Jupyter Notebook to make the correct imports.
