Hi Brooke
Not yet. As I wrote it should be an easy way (which can be handled by an
unsuspecting librarian several times a year). We hoped there is an
easier way than install even more software and learn how to use it.
After all it's just deleting two characters. But well, I know... "just"
and "only" are not valid when dealing with software... sigh.
As I wrote to Jane Cothron who also suggested MarcEdit: "It's good to
know MarcEdit could do it, so I probably will try to persuade the
responsible librarian to install and learn MarcEdit (unfortunately this
is not a one-off task but the library acquires such data several times a
year)."
MarcEdit is a fundamental tool for cataloguing, arguably a must > have for
almost any ILS. If you're nervous at all, it's free in terms
of price. It's also so easy, an ijiot like meself has very little
trouble using it. When you get good with it, it can be positively > magical.
As a matter of fact (instead of trying to solve problems with the
current Kohadevbox, another task) I was right now downloading Marcedit.
I tried it maybe five years ago and hda no use for it then (and as a
Linuxite I didn't like the Windows/Wine-dependency). But everything has
changed now and I'll give it another try... Then it was just one of many
tools, now I got a concrete problem to solve...
Best wishes: Michael
