  • OLC MarcEdit Workshop

    So, last week (May 20th), I had the opportunity to meet with about 56ish folks in Columbus, OH to talk about MarcEdit.  I don’t give MarcEdit workshops very often, though I have always enjoyed doing it when I have.  (The main reason I don’t is the time — I simply don’t have the time to…

  • MarcEdit version number change coming

    Just an FYI — I’m a big believer in incremental builds — hence the reason why MarcEdit’s build number changes so slowly.  For example, my current development build number is: 5.1.3393.37654 (actually built today).  I personally am not fond of software that make large leaps between build numbers, but I also realize that my incremental…

  • 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…

  • 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…
