I’ve made a few tweaks to the classification service.  The big update was a bug fix that was fields proceeding the inserted classification to be deleted.  Obviously, that’s a problem.  This has been corrected.  Additionally, I’ve added an option to remove using the subfield z (in the 035, 776, 020 and 022) as part of…

Posted a MarcEdit update that includes the Batch Classification service.  This service utilizes OCLC’s Classify API to generate call numbers for records.  I originally noted the work on this tool while I was at code4lib here.  The original tool was pretty simple — it was created to examine a record, extract a control number, and…

Update was posted Feb. 7th.  Here’s what’s being worked on: MarcEditor changes, specifically: When saving .mrk files, the change in the Edit control from the textbox to a custom control shifted the newline character from the system default (on windows \r\n) to simply using a carriage return (\r).  This will be corrected so that it…

I’ll be bringing back one function to MarcEdit — the ability to assign extensions to specific functions in MarcEdit.  This was something that was available in MarcEdit 4.x — but I removed in the 5.x series.  After a few requests, I’ve brought it back.  However, it’s slightly different and I hope a little bit better.…

For Christmas, I posted an updated version of MarcEdit.  It included a number of new features, the biggest being an update to the Merge Records tool.  This is the first part of a two part update process.  I’m hoping the second part of the update will be completed by New Years.  Anyway, the matching tool…

I’m not sure many people realize it, but there is a completely command-line driven version of MarcEdit.  This version provides an easy to use command-line tool that can be used with other cmd tools to pipe data or processes together.  One of the fundamental changes between the cmarcedit and marcedit GUI applications is that any…
