Good Morning-

You can use the tools to edit the fields or subfields (add, delete, or modify).  I have also successfully used a simple Find and Replace.  You can contact me off list if you still need further assistance.

Sincerely, 
Rebel Cummings-Sauls

Subject: Re: [SERIALST] 008 field on Electronic Serial Records

Robin,

You may also want to post this question to the MARCEDIT-L discussion list (info. for subscribing is at http://listserv.gmu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=marcedit-l); the community there is quite helpful and Terry Reese himself readily answers functional questions posed there. But this is fairly easy to do. Using the MarcEditor, put your cursor at the beginning of the 008 field of each record. Then click on Edit menu > Insert/Edit 006/008 > Edit.

Hello,
 
Does anyone have experience using MARC Edit to change dates in the 008 field for electronic serial records? I receive batch records from Serials Solutions each month and I use MARC Edit to delete and add necessary fields before loading them into our III Sierra catalog. I want to change dates in the 008 to a generic uuuu but I’m unable to figure it out.  Any experience or advice is appreciated.
 
 
Thanks, Robin
