  • MarcEdit: Making the Most of Task Webinar Recording

    I recorded the second session. You can find it here https://youtu.be/kVhAtS-VCYY

  • MarcEdit: Making the Most of Tasks (11:00 PM EST)

    I’m told our subscription allows up to 1000 attendees.  I’m dubious that is the case, but this is open to as many folks that want to attend and the room will let in.  I’ll record the session. Topic: MarcEdit: Making the Most of Tasks (11:00 PM EST) Time: Mar 20, 2020 11:00 PM Eastern Time…

  • MarcEdit 7.2.x Updates

    I posted two updates today Version 7.2.100 (which the auto update will pull down). Version 7.2.95 (which won’t be pulled down, but can be picked up from the main downloads page) So why the two versions?  Version 7.2.100 shifts the .NET framework that the program targets from 4.6.1 to 4.7.2.  There are differences, and I…

  • Happy Christmas and MarcEdit updates

    First, it is my sincere hope that everyone had a merry and happy holidays.  As someone that lives a long way from my family, Christmas is a time to spend primarily with my wife and kids.  And this year was extra special, as my oldest returned home for winter break after his first semester away…

  • MarcEdit 7.2: Generating LCSH for Records

    For about the past year or so, I’ve been interested in working on a tool that would allow a user to take records that include an LC call number and generate LCSH headings for the records.  In theory, I’ve thought it was generally possible.  Library of Congress call numbers roughly correspond to parts of LCSH…

  • MarcEdit 7 Update

    I’ve worked on a significant update that is including a chance to the installer (significant changes) necessitating a change in version number to 7.2.x.  Changes below. Proxy Changes I’ve had some requests to allow proxy use with a handful of specific tools.  These have been added to the OAI Harvester, the Z39.50/SRU Tool, and the…

  • MarcEdit Plugin Development: Using late binding to reference functions

    In MarcEdit, plugins provide a way to extend the application’s functionality.  However, there are a couple of best practices that developers working with MarcEdit should generally follow if working with C#/.NET. Only create a Reference to the MacroInterfaces.dll.  I rarely change this file.  This is important.  I strongly name and sign all libraries, so any…
