PM-The Basics of MarcEdit
This three-hour class will focus on the free MARC record editing program MarcEdit. Would you like to know the basics of how to use it to do bibliographic record clean-up? Do you have repetitive database maintenance tasks you perform on catalog records that
you'd like to automate? This workshop will show you how to get started. This will be an introductory session, appropriate for either cataloging librarians or technical services staff with copy-cataloging experience with no prior experience with MarcEdit.
