  • MarcEdit 5.x Update

    I’ve been doing a little bit of MarcEdit work, refining a few of the function to try to make the program a little smarter when it comes to doing what users are actually wanting to do, rather than what they are asking to do.  One case in point — if a user has a set…

  • MarcEdit OCLC Connexion Plugin Updated

    For those using this — I’ve figured out how to get the Access connection to behave better, so now if you will be able to extract as many records as you need to edit and expect all updates to occur.  Prior, the plug-in would occasionally error out and an handful of records wouldn’t get changed…

  • Feeling my age

    Watching my two boys (6 and 3) is amazing.  They have boundless energy.  I remember when I had boundless energy.  Today, I feel like I’m stuck in the mud.  After 600 miles on the bike and about 60 miles running over the past two weeks I’m tired and sore (not a good, since I’ve still…

  • Music, animals and dinosaurs — Oh my

    Wow — it’s been unseasonably hot the past couple of days.  It’s funny how quickly things have gone from winter and snowing (last snow day was around April 23rd) to nearly 100 degree heat (yesterday and today).  Of course, with the thawing from winter to summer (I guess we are skipping spring this year), comes…

  • Ok — I’ve given blood, now you do too

    As a universal donor, I try to give blood when I’m not on my bike (thank you roofing staple) — so, the red cross was at OSU today and without a good reason not to give blood, I dropped by and gave a pint.  I actually wish I could do it more often — but…

  • RLG Tools Form (May 8th, Boston Public Library)

    So, as folks might have gathered from a few of my posts over the last week, I had a few engagements that have keep me on the east coast over the past week.  One of the events that I had attended during the week was the RLG Tools forum at the Boston Public Library.  This…

  • MarcEdit update

    Sorry I haven’t gotten this up — I’ll post it tonight. –TR

  • Geneseo Resource Sharing project

    For the first time, in a really long time, I won’t be home on Mother’s Day.  A trip to Boston last week was extended to include some time in NY to talk to friends and the Geneseo library about the resource sharing project that they are working on.   I was really impressed by the work…

  • Quick MarcEdit FYI

    I’ll be posting an update this weekend that includes an updated bootloader to deal with a problem identified when installing on Vista 64-bit, as well as including enhancements to the Z39.50 Extended Services support and the OAI Harvester (making it more fault tolerant). Also, I reharvested the UMich. Google Books records and will be posting…

  • For the record, no, I’m not at IUG this year

    Funny day.  Great story.  I’ve been hanging out in Minnesota attending DLF and got a funny message.  Apparently, my absence at this year’s IUG was noticed and a few folks wanted to know if Innovative had somehow banned me from attending.  I found this an odd statement for two reasons.  First, I’m not sure what…

Got any book recommendations?
