I added a link under the Title section to a small code snippet for parsing titles to determine the number of nonfiling characters (for when converting non-MARC data to MARC). -- Michael # Michael Doran, Systems Librarian # University of Texas at Arlington # 817-272-5326 office # 817-688-1926 mobile # [log in to unmask] # http://rocky.uta.edu/doran/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of > Thomale, Jason > Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2011 4:22 PM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [CODE4LIB] techniques for parsing legacy library data > > Hey all, > > I <3 today's LCC thread, and ones like it. > > It seems like there's a ton of knowledge out there (buried) about parsing > various pieces of library data like this, but I haven't really seen a > concerted effort to log/organize this info in one place.
