Find and Replace

Search for records  using  any MARC field to create a group of target records. Use the Find utility to search the target records for matching text in a field  or indicator. Use the Replace utility to replace the matching text with the desired text.

 

Advanced Find

The Advanced Find utility allows the following limitations  in order to fine tune a search:

•    Limit search to field or subfield occurrence

•    Limit search to character position

•    Match field, subfield, control field, or indicator field

 

Advanced Replace

The Advanced Replace utility allows the following modifications:

•    Copy, move, rename, or remove subfields  or entire fields

•    Insert new fields, subfields, or control fields

•    Insert text into existing fields, subfields, control fields, or indicator fields

 

 

Import

Bibliographic, patron, and authority records formatted in MARC, ASCII delimited, or ASCII fixed width format can be imported. Picture fields can be imported  using the M3 Picture  Manager utility, which is accessible through Cataloging. Fields in existing records must be mapped to the appropriate MARC field or defaults  can be selected. During  import,  duplicate bibliographic or authority records can be imported or discarded, or can replace existing records. All holding records are imported. During the initial import, an optional high-speed import can be run to save time.  Barcodes  can be generated during the import process. After the import process is complete, an Import  Summary  is created listing duration of import session, number of records in the import file, number of records imported success- fully, any duplicate barcodes, and the barcode creation summary.

 

M3 Cataloging also accepts records  in the following formats:

•     USMARC    

•     WLN

•     MARC21    

•     SDM (MARC)

Bibliographic, holding, patron, and authority  records  can be exported  in MARC

format.  MARC records  can be exported using  two methods:

•     Standard Export – maintains the record’s current field format
