  • 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

    Ok — here’s the info.  File: MidWinter 2007 ALCTS PresentationSo what’s included?  Zip file contains our custom XSLT that’s used in MarcEdit, the Macro that I use to clean data, and the ppt slides.  The XSLT file is a custom version of the default OAIDC translation found in MarcEdit.  Its customized to deal with the…

  • 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…

  • MarcEdit 5.0.2574.28817 Update

    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…

  • MarcEdit update

    Posted an updated version of MarcEdit.  Updates a few stylesheets, removes an artificial limit in the Z39.50 client that limited results to 1000 (you now are limited only by available memory), and modified some install behaviors in terms of checking some local config. files for changes before overwriting them.   Also, I need to post…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Update

    Quick update to MarcEdit 5.0.  The following has been updated: Support for .pac files in the Z39.50/SRU client I think that this works.  We don’t use pac files anymore — so lets just say that if the documentation that I have was correct — it should work.  Corrected problem with Find function.  (The program wouldn’t…

  • MarcEdit website updates

    FYI — a couple of changes to the MarcEdit website.  First, the homepage now pulls its information for the current news from my blog.  Second, I’ve started putting all the MarcEdit documentation into a Wiki.  This should allow me to more easily create documentation as well as export the documentation both in PDF and HTML…
