  • MarcEdit 5.8 Delimited Text Translator – Auto Generate Arguments List

    One of the often requested enhancements to the MarcEdit Delimited Text Translator is the ability to auto generate the arguments list.  For many users, their spreadsheets or delimited text documents include a line at the beginning of the document defining the data found in the file.  I’ve often had folks wonder if I could do…

  • MarcEdit 5.2 Update

    Hi all, I have just uploaded a new version of MarcEdit to the website.  This version specifically addresses two bugs and introduces the Task Automation function into the application.  Bug Fixes: Changes not saved in the MarcEditor: Under certain conditions, MarcEdit would lose track of changes made within the program.  This occurred primarily after changes…

  • A forgotten MarcEdit Subfield Editing function 🙂

    I was asked the other day at AALL (American Association of Law Libraries) if MarcEdit could be used to move specific data from one field and replace the data currently present in another.  So, an example — the ability to move data from a 260$c to the 008 position 7:4.  You can actually, though its…

  • MarcEdit Z39.50 on ‘Nix

    I need to send this out to the 15 or so folks that have agreed to be my first guinea pigs testing out a MarcEdit build on ‘Nix and Mac systems (and btw, Mac UI rendering isn’t good.  That’s not surprising because Mono’s UI changes tend to show up correctly on ‘Nix first, then Mac…

  • MarcEdit 5.1 update

    Couple of quick changes.  Delete Fields — you can delete multiple fields using “xâ€? syntax, where the ‘x’ is no longer case sensitive.  For example: a) 900 — deletes the 900 field b) 90x — deletes fields 900, 901, 902, 903, etc. c) 9xX — deletes fields 900, 901, 902, 903…910, 911…920, 921, etc. Originally,…

  • MarcEdit Update

    I just uploaded a new version of MarcEdit 5.1.  Most of the updates are related to changes in the MarcEditor.  So here’s the list of changes: MarcEdit Find (specifically when the regular expression option is selected) — Previously, when searches were done, items were located but the window didn’t scroll to the located item.  That’s…

  • EAD => MARC tutorial

    Just an FYI, since some people ask how we go about generating MARC records from our EAD records using MarcEdit…I’ve posted a short video tutorial.  What I didn’t include was the EAD translation (it’s somewhat specific to OSU), but I’m happy to add a link to it if anyone is interested. Anyway, you can find…

  • MarcEdit 5.1 Update

    Getting this last update out has taken a little more time than I would have liked, but I really wanted to think some of the issues that this update raised through so that the update process would be seamless.  Realistically, were I versioning MarcEdit in any realistic versioning process, this would likely be at the…

  • ‡biblios.net MarcEdit Plug-in

    So, one of the presentations at Code4Lib this year discussed one of the latest initiatives to come out of the LibLime company, ‡biblios.net.  ‡biblios.net is a repository of ~30 million MARC records released under an Open Data license.  From my perspective, one of the things that I found most interesting about the ‡biblios.net platform is…
