  • MarcEdit Bug Fix Update

    I’ve posted a new update for all versions of MarcEdit this afternoon.  Last night, when I posted the new update, I introduced a bug into the RDA Helper that rendered it basically unusable.  When adding functionality to the tool to enable support for abbreviations at a subfield level, I introduced a problem that removed the…

  • MarcEdit Updates

    I spent some time this week working through a few updates based on some feedback I’ve gotten over the past couple of weeks.  Most of the updates at this point are focused on the Windows/Linux builds, but the Mac build has been updated as well as all new functionality found in the linking libraries and…

  • MarcEdit Update

    I posted a small MarcEdit Update for Linux/Windows users that corrects some file path issues on linux and corrects a problem introduced in doing unicode character replacement in the 260/264 process of the RDA Helper.  You can get the update from the downloads page or via the automated updates. I also wanted to take this…

  • MarcEdit Mid-week update

    Yesterday, I had someone indicate that there was a problem with the Add/Delete Field function.  An update in the last version to allow for deduplication deletions based on subfields tripped other deletions.  This was definitely problematic.  This has been corrected, in addition to a couple other changes. Change log: 6.2.88 Bug Fix: Add/Delete Field: I…

  • MarcEdit: Build New Field Enhancement

    I’m wrapping up a few odds and ends prior to releasing the next MarcEdit update — mostly around the linked data work and how the tool works with specific linked data services — but one of the specific changes that should make folks using the Build New Field tool happy is the addition of a…

  • MarcEdit: Thinking about Charactersets and MARC

    The topic of charactersets is likely something most North American catalogers rarely give a second thought to.  Our tools, systems — they all are built around a very anglo-centric world-view that assumes data is primarily structured in MARC21, and recorded in either MARC-8 or UTF8.  However, when you get outside of North America, the question…

  • MarcEdit In-Process Work

    Would this be the super bowl edition? Super-duper update? I don’t know — but I am planning an update. Here’s what I’m hoping to accomplish for this update (2/7/2016): MarcEdit (Windows/Linux) · Z39.50/SRU Enhancement: Enable user defined profiles and schemas within the SRU configuration. Status: Complete · Z39.50/SRU Enhancement: Allow SRU searches to be completed…

  • MarcEdit update Posted

    I’ve posted an update for all versions — changed noted here: Windows/Linux Changelog: http://marcedit.reeset.net/software/update.txt Mac OSX Changelog: http://marcedit.reeset.net/software/mac.txt The significant change was a shift in how the linked data processing works.  I’ve shifted from hard code to a rules file.  You can read about that here: https://blog.reeset.net/archives/1887 If you need to download the file, you…

  • MarcEdit Linked Data–Rules file

    One of the changes in the current MarcEdit update is the introduction of a linked data rules file to help the program understand what data elements should be processed for automatic URL generation, and how that data should be treated.  The Rules file is found in the Configs directory and is called: linked_data_profile.xml   The…
