 MARC Notepad

Current Release: 2.5.0 Build Date:  June 26 2007
 

The MARC Notepad editor is the perfect companion to BookWhere for day to day copy cataloguing activities as well as retrospective conversion projects.

Many librarians use BookWhere to capture MARC records for their local systems. Without MARC Notepad, records are imported into the local automation system then retrieved and modified at a later time. The ability to perform simple edits, remove extraneous tags and subfields and possibly add local holdings information at the point of capture can dramatically improve overall copy cataloguing workflow. MARC Notepad has been built to satisfy this requirement.

Features

  • edit MARC records derived from BookWhere's SendTo interface
  • work with files of MARC records from other sources or extracted from your local system (files must be in MARC communications format)
  • supports standard MARC21 and UNIMARC format records with tag and subfield rules and descriptions
  • supports display and editing of MARC-8(extended Latin-1, ANSEL), Latin-1 extended and Unicode™ character set encoded records
  • character encoding conversion of incoming MARC records to match local library system requirements
  • Basic and Advanced (MARC format rule-based) tag editors included
  • user-selectable fonts throughout MARC Notepad accomodate display of multilingual records, diacritics, and international characters
  • user-definable macros provide global editing of records either by manual selection or automatically as records are received from BookWhere
  • user-configurable options to suit the local cataloguing environment
  • one year of (renewable) maintenance/technical support included with software purchase

System Requirements

  • Microsoft Windows XP or Windows 2000 operating system
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher

  • 256MB (minimum) with 512MB-1GB RAM recommended
  • Pentium processor required
  • 50 MB of disk space (more if you intend to download large numbers of records)
