  • MarcEdit Z39.50 client

    The Z39.50 client is finished (at least the Z39.50 part). I’m doing some final testing and will update the beta install by Monday. Once uploaded, I’ll start finishing up the SRU interface and then start finishing a little house cleaning so I can move MarcEdit 5 out of beta. –Terry

  • Weekend at the beach

    We spent the weekend with my wife’s family at Cape Mears — near Tillamook, OR. It was a pretty good time. The house was on a lake which was about a 1/4 mile from the ocean so we spent quite a bit of time playing in the water. Nathan is a little water boy. He…

  • A forgetful day

    Today was a bit embarassing…my mind wondered a bit today and I ended up forgetting to bring quite a few items today. The first was my bike helmet. For those that don’t know, I bike about 25 miles each morning and evening between Independence, OR and Corvallis, OR most days. On others, I ride to…

  • College Libraries of tomorrow

    I was pleasantly surprised to see an article on ZDNET talking about digital library development being done in libraries in the pre and post Google eras. I’m always interested to see how folks outside the library profession view our digital library efforts. URL: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-5817291.html

  • Kenny’s Birthday weekend

    Kenny finally had his birthday weekend. Saturday, we had a birthday party and invited about 30 kids from the neighborhood to come and celebrate with Kenny. We had a pinota, a Thomas the Tank Engine cake and bubbles. My wife had put the party together and did a fantastic job keeping the kids busy. I…

  • Discovery blasts off with Kenny’s imagination

    As I’d posted earlier, Kenny (my oldest) has really been looking forward to this launch. He’s been watching all the videos, soaking in the NASA channel and pretty much learning more about shuttle program that I do. Anyway, I had to ride my bike in this morning — so I didn’t get to stay home…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 MARC=>MARCXML bug

    I’ve confirmed a bug in the MarcEngine that translates MARC data to MARCXML. The issue occurs when a subfield code is incorrectly added to the end of a field. I’ve corrected this issue and reposted the build to: marcedit50_2005_07_25.zip –Terry

  • OSU’s OpenURL resolver on Google

    Well, OSU has finally been able to get their openurl resolver added to Google’s Scholar. (click on the image for full size) Its been a long time coming — we originally tried working with Google on their pilot project before they had made the service more public…but we use Innovate Interface’s Webbridge and there had…

  • MarcEdit 5.0 Beta Refresh (July 25, 2005)

    Ahhhhh…..I’d introduced a bug in the last build that primarily affected European diacritics when moving between MARC-8 to UTF-8. The issue at hand was how to deal with dangling or incorrectly coded diacritics. In coding a solution, I accidently removed some code that moved combining diacritics. In MARC-8, diacritic placement for most European diacritics should…
