[Evergreen-catalogers] Evergreen-catalogers Digest, Vol 141, Issue 7

Thank you!

Just had a look, and just had one thing I noticed. The selections for certain fixed fields are missing from their dropdown lists, eg.:
Mrec: https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/mrec.html
Crtl: https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/ctrl.html
GPub: https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/gpub.html
Regl: https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/regl.html
Freq: https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/freq.html
Alph: https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/alph.html
Not sure if those just haven’t been added yet though.

I don’t use the enhanced editor very much, but from what I can see it looks great! The “Help” feature that describes the commonly used indicators and subfields is a really nice feature, I feel like it will be really valuable for a lot of cataloguers and for libraries training new staff. Also the ability to click on each of the fields in the MARC and see a description and a list of other available fields.

I guess my only other suggestion would be to also change the “+Create New MARC” editor like what was done with the authorities manager, so people creating records from scratch could benefit from having those the descriptions as well.

Thanks and I look forward to seeing this in our Evergreen in the future!

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for everything! Great sessions this year :)

I was just going to take a look at the angular Marc editor and the Festivus link is giving me a 502 bad gateway error. I'll check back in a bit but thought I'd let you know just in case.

Happy Friday afternoon!

*Conference Week Wrap-Up*
I will finalize my summary of Cataloging Interest Group notes from this week's conference presentations and Hackfest session over the weekend so I can share on Monday. The unrevised draft of the Cat IG notes <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1snvoI_iOGjeR3c10Rw5v75XCG4An8LL7Hme4cmwaCcY/edit?usp=sharing>
is still available for review.

*Enhanced Marc Editor Rewrite*
In the meantime, the test system for reviewing changes to the Enhanced Marc Editor is ready again. We looked at it briefly during Hackfest.  If you have time, please take a look at the snazzy changes and provide feedback -- either to the cataloging list or directly to the launchpad bug if you have access.  Many thanks to Stephanie Leary for her great work on this!

Test Server Link:

Launchpad Bug:

Best regards,
Jennifer
