Using MarcEdit and OpenRefine to regularize MARC 510 fields
This article describes how to use MarcEdit and OpenRefine to regularize citation forms extracted MARC records. For more on using OpenRefine with library data, see the Library Carpentry: OpenRefine online lesson at https://librarycarpentry.org/lc-open-refine/
- Open MarcEdit and select OpenRefine Data Transfer
- Use "Export to OpenRefine" to convert a .mrc file into a .tsv file (Folger practice: Save File filename is same as Source File except with "-OpenRefine.tsv" instead of ".mrc")
- Open OpenRefine and select "Create project"
- Import the .tsv file with these settings
- Character encoding: UTF-8,
- Columns are separated by: tabs (TSV)
- Parse next 1 line(s) as column headers
- Store blank rows
