[Metadatalibrarians] MarcEdit Batch Processing

[Dana Pearson]

Hi Tim,

Could not really find anything in the help documentation in ver.
5.1.3449.38494 but that's not to say it's not in there somewhere.  I should
point out that the MARCXML needs to be valid.  When I tried to convert this
directory with the batch process, it yielded an empty mrc file within a
processed_files directory (within the source directory).

The offending elements were the leader elements that lacked the necessary
placeholders for positions 0-4 for several records in the first of 73 xml
files.  Not sure how I extracted it from the OAIMARC since that stylesheet
requires valid MARCXML as well.

Select the directory of the MARCXML files for the Source directory input
box; type xml in File types input box, choose the Function MARCXML to MARC.
Select "process".  The mrc files will be in a directory called
processed_files within the MARCXML directory.
Jpeg image attached in case you're interested.

Others interested in learning more about using MarcEdit might want to join
the newly created list.  Might well be usefully employed within your
workflows.  I could post additional information to the list if so.

regards,
dana
