MARC Notepad

The MARC Notepad editor is the perfect companion to BookWhere for day to day copy cataloguing activities as well as retrospective conversion projects.

Many librarians use BookWhere to capture MARC records for their local systems. Without MARC Notepad, records are imported into the local automation system then retrieved and modified at a later time. The ability to perform simple edits, remove extraneous tags and subfields and possibly add local holdings information at the point of capture can dramatically improve overall copy cataloguing workflow. MARC Notepad has been built to satisfy this requirement.
