  • MarcEdit and Solr

    With the preconference at Code4lib coming, folks are looking for ways to get their MARC data into a format that Solr can load.  Andrew Nagy has made an XSLT that can convert MARCXML data to a Solr format, and David Bigwood notes that MarcEdit can be used to generate those MARCXML records.  This is true —…

  • MarcEdit 5 and Vista

    So I’ve been having a few folks ask about MarcEdit 5.0 and Vista — specifically, are there problems installing one on the other.  Well, I found myself a version of Vista (Enterprise Edition) and gave it a while.  Good news — no problems.  The only problem that I ran into was the install program.  In…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 update

    I uploaded a small change to the MarcEdit program.  It includes the following changes: Stub code added to accommodate a new input interface.  It’s not finished yet — but I’ve started making some code revisions to make it easier to implement. Setup File Changes Additions to the language file Custom Sort Feature in MarcEditor Misc.…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 update

    What folks may not realize, is that MarcEdit 5.0 includes a command-line program.  I added a few more command-line switches to give users access to the XML transformations through the command-line.  At this point, the following arguments are available: Arguments:        -s:     Path to file to be processed.                        If calling the join utility, source must be…

  • Marcedit update

    Two bugs in MarcEdit — one simple, one more involved.  The simple one has been fixed and uploaded.  The easy one to fix — In the deduplication tool, there are occasions when the program will throw an error if access code in the message pump accesses the GUI elements before they are ready.  More difficult…

  • Translating ETDs from Dspace OAI to MARC

    I’m giving a short 15 minute presentation at ALA (How Catalogers and System Developers Work Creatively with Metadata: 1:30-3:30 pm at the Convention center) on the process OSU uses to moving ETD data going into Dspace directly into MARC/OCLC and our catalog.  Its a pretty simple process.  If you want to see how we do…

    I’ve posted a new update to MarcEdit 5.  The update includes the following changes: Added a Sort by Title to the MarcEditor and rearranged the sort commands I’d been asked by a few folks to add the ability to sort a results set by title — this new function allows that.  To make this work, I’ve…

  • MarcEdit "rosettastone"

    I’ll likely change the name, but I’ve been creating a simple SOAP service that will be able to migrate metadata directly between 7 known metadata formats — or user defined formats, in addition to the ability to harvest OAI to MARC, MARCXML or user defined.  I’m note sure how useful something like this could be…

  • Coming in MarcEdit 5

    Thought I’d give folks an idea of what I’ve got coming in the next few weeks for MarcEdit.  In the past, a number of folks had asked for an interface that would make creation of original records or the editing of individual records easier for folks that are not necessarily “MARC code junkies”.  Well, the…
