Thursday 7 September
LIANZA CAT SIG AGM and ORDAC update

Presenters:

• Joanne Rowan (LIANZA CAT SIG Chair. Scholarly Content Advisor, Libraries and Learning Services, The University of Auckland
• Anoushka McGuire (ORDAC New Zealand Representative. Team Leader, Cataloging Team 1, National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa)

Thursday 14 September
Panel discussion on using MarcEdit

Facilitator:

Presenters and panellists:

If you want to learn how Marcedit can work for you in streamlining changes to bibliographic records, this is the session for you.  We will have three presentations outlining how MarcEdit is used in three very different library environments followed by questions.

• Use MarcEdit to manage e-resource records, from using managed tasks to fine-tune vendor-supplied records to bulk editing MARC records to search and replace incorrect/outdated information.
• Customize batches of records for your library using one-for-one data transformation or via a conditional replacement - depending on the presence/coding of data within the bibliographic record.
• Using the export tab-delimited function to investigate problems in a set of records and using regular expressions to find and replace characters in control fields.
