  • MarcEdit 5.2 Available

    It’s been a lot of work, but I’m finally ready to officially release  MarcEdit 5.2, though with some caveats.  This is the first public 5.2 build (there have been some private builds that have been available to some folks on the MarcEdit ListServ) — and as far as I can tell, potential problems related to…

  • Jack-0-lantern the last (2009)

    Yesterday, I posted pictures of my families first three jack-o-lanterns.  These were Kenny, Nathan and Alyce’s pumpkins — but I didn’t have one.  So, I went to the store and picked up a new pumpkin so I could carve my own jack-o-lantern.  I had an idea of what I wanted — over the past two…

  • Jack-o-lanterns 2009

    As the habit here at my house, the boys and I finally got our jack-o-lanterns finished for this year.  Well, mostly finished.  I still need to make one for work — but I got the important ones finished.  The boys really look forward to our pumpkin carving nights.  We spend a good deal of time…

  • MarcEdit Paging approach

    I’m just about to the point where I have this work completed and will be ready to send it out for a few people for testing.  However, I want to provide some feedback so folks have an idea how this will work (even if you’re not that interested). Paging: The idea here is that loading…

  • MarcEdit design question/advice

    I asked this question on the MarcEdit Listserv, but will post it here as well.  Below, is the message and images of the wireframes that are mentioned.  If you have an opinion — feel free to join the list and let me know, or if you like, you can contact me directly at: terry.reese@oregonstate.edu  …

  • MarcEdit Listserv

    So, the good folks at George Mason University have offered to host a MarcEdit Listserv.  If you are interested, you can find it here: http://www.lsoft.com/scripts/wl.exe?SL1=MARCEDIT-L&H=MAIL04.GMU.EDU This list would be a great place for folks looking to ask questions.  I’m one of many moderators to the list, so if a question is asked, I (or someone)…

  • A forgotten MarcEdit Subfield Editing function 🙂

    I was asked the other day at AALL (American Association of Law Libraries) if MarcEdit could be used to move specific data from one field and replace the data currently present in another.  So, an example — the ability to move data from a 260$c to the 008 position 7:4.  You can actually, though its…

  • Kenny’s 8th Birthday

    On Aug. 1st, 2001 at 11:29 pm, my wife and I welcomed Kenneth Terry Reese to the world, and from that day forward, he’s added nothing but joy to our lives.  And from the moment I saw him, I fell in love with him.  The funny thing about kids, especially your first child, is that…

  • MarcEdit Z39.50 on ‘Nix

    I need to send this out to the 15 or so folks that have agreed to be my first guinea pigs testing out a MarcEdit build on ‘Nix and Mac systems (and btw, Mac UI rendering isn’t good.  That’s not surprising because Mono’s UI changes tend to show up correctly on ‘Nix first, then Mac…

  • MarcEdit testing on ‘Nix (updates)

    So far so good.  I’ve had a great response and am starting to get back feedback that I’ll be incorporating into work that I plan on doing this weekend to fix a few ‘Nix issues.  But I think that when the next MarcEdit release is posted — I’ll for the first time be including information…

Got any book recommendations?
