These utilities are meant for simple and straightforward MARC record changes. For more complex situations, we recommend using data cleanup services or manually modifying records in Alexandria or a text editor.
Change Series Volume
Makes series volumes uniform and easy to sort by converting the volume number to a padded three digit number and adding a prefix (for example, "bk1" would be converted to "Book 001")
Create Genre MARC Tag
Creates a 655_a tag using information in any existing 650_v tag for selected titles
Fix Series
Looks at the series title and volume in 490_a and 490_v and copies those values to 830_a and 830_v for records without an existing 830 tag
Remove a MARC Tag
Removes a specific MARC tag from selected titles
Switch a MARC Tag
Switches a specified MARC tag with another specified MARC tag for selected titles
