Item Editors allow you to customize the MARC record for an item without having to Toggle MARC view. You can edit the Title, Author, and Subjects for any item in your library, and the new information will then be reflected on the item's MARC record. You will need to be on the Title tab of the item record in order to make these changes. You may review the Library of Congress webpage for additional information about MARC record standards.

To access the item editors:

1. Go to the Items module.
2. Select the Titles tab at the top of the window.
3. Look up the title you want to edit.
4. Click the padlock icon at the top of the window to unlock the item for editing.

Now you're ready to go.
