  • 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…

  • MarcEdit update notes

    Since a few folks have asked, the update mentioned last week is coming along nicely.  At this point, I have a number of MarcEdit users that are testing new features and the install program (both individually and in an enterprise environment).  Things are looking good, so it will be out the door as soon as…

  • Quick MarcEdit note

    Just a couple of quick MarcEdit notes. As part of my campaign to make MarcEdit work better within group managed systems, I’ve been working on migrating MarcEdit’s installer from a general .exe setup to one using Microsoft’s MSI installer.  This will allow system administrators the ability to use Microsoft’s package management tools to distribute MarcEdit…

  • MarcEdit 5.x update notes

    So far so good.  A number of people have updated without snags.  However (there had to be one, right), if you are a new MarcEdit 5.x user (installed today) or someone using the MarcEngine5.Query object, I’ve pushed a new update that will solve a missing file and object issue.  If you updated and there were…

  • MarcEdit 5.x update: addendum

    One thing I did forget to highlight in the update [in reference to: https://blog.reeset.net/archives/597].  A number of changes were made to the Delimited Text Translator — the most notable being a fix that allows data saved in UTF16 or UTF32 to be translated into UTF8 so that it can be used to generate MARC21 Data.…

  • MarcEdit 5.x Update

    It’s taken a little while to get this update finished, but I’m finally ready to make this available to the general public.  So what’s in the update?  Actually quite a bit, though I won’t go into a long list, but will say that there were some bug fixes (mostly related to UI or convenience functions),…

  • Must the library live in perpetual beta to achieve agility

    An interesting question brought up by David Seaman here at the Readex Digital Institute.  David provided the opening keynote for the conference and in it, discussed a process that Dartmouth College went through this year to consider how the library can become more nimble within our networked world.  How the library can be given a…
