Data processing automation with MarcEdit

Search, manipulate and transform any bibliographic data set instantly!

Have you ever needed to:

• retrieve a set of bibliographic data from our catalogue—or any catalogue—using particular parameters?
• transform your data from MARC format to a non-MARC format (MODS, EAD, XML, Excel, .txt), or vice versa?
• enrich your data content by adding subject headings and call numbers on the fly?
• improve your data by adding access points from the Library of Congress (or other sources) instantly?

Or perhaps you have just heard the name MarcEdit thrown around, and wondered what it is?

Come and see how this reMARCable tool searches, manipulates, and transforms bibliographic data sets in various formats—instantly! Plus: a few ‘magic’ tricks in data manipulation from our own University of Waterloo Library cataloguing practices.

This talk is presented by Larisa Symk, who welcomes any questions or requests in advance.
