Adding, moving, and deleting fields using MarcEdit

Adding, moving, and deleting fields is easy using MarcEdit.

We want to move the vendor name from the 710 field to the 797 field. This command makes that switch: Tools>Copy Field

This doesn’t change the indicators at all; if they need to be changed, use the Tools>Edit Indicator Data to make that change.

Adding a new field is very easy; go to Tools>Add Field to make the addition.

That’s pretty easy! These same commands can be used to add any new field to all records. It get’s more complicated with reformatting fields and conditional logic, but the basic adding, deleting, and moving fields is very easy in MarcEdit.
