  • MarcEdit Start Page Changes

    **A number of members of the MarcEdit community provided feedback while working on these changes.  Specifically, Heidi Frank (NYU) and Jim Taylor (of http://jtdata.com) for contributing their time and some artistic skill in creating some of the new functional icons.

  • MarcEdit Wireframes

    I’ve been spending some time over the past week drawing up a few new wireframes for MarcEdit.  Part of this is because I’d like to update the program’s look and feel, part of it is that I’m moving some code around so if I ever get a Mac mini for testing, I can start working…

  • June 2013: MarcEdit Top 25 Country usage

    One of the fun things about moving my content off the Oregon State network and onto my own domain is that I get to use my own statistics package and it’s allowing me to gather a little more granularity in my statistics, which is fun.  I always find it interesting looking at where MarcEdit is…

  • MarcEdit Swap Field function updates

    I meant to post this earlier, but then got busy with travel.  Three weeks ago, I was sitting down to make a few changes to the swap field function in MarcEdit and realized after scanning the function, I couldn’t remember how it worked.  This doesn’t happen very often (I probably over document my code), but…
