[Evergreen-general] [Evergreen-catalogers] Batch editing the 008

[Jennifer Weston]

Kate,
I am not aware of any way to batch edit specific positions on the 008 or
LDR.
There is a possibility that a regular expression could be designed to
replace a character in a specific position but that's beyond my abilities.
There is an old launchpad bug
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1456685> that refers to the wish
to be able to support manipulation of control fields and the Leader --
which I would love to see!

I'm copying in the general listserv to see if anybody else out there has a
workaround other than export to MarcEdit.

Best,
Jennifer
