[MCN-L] Yahoo's flickr
Flickr's pretty neat, but as Mike pointed out, there's a 10MB upload limit (only 5 for the downloadaable applet, but still 10 through the web interface). Also, you mention different formats, but unfortunately Flickr can handle any format you like as long as it's Jpeg. Chuck
[MCN-L] Slideshowpro
I've been using Slideshow pro since its infancy and it is a tremendous piece of software. Director is also a great addition to help automate file uploading and organization. Both products are routinely updated with new features and support from Todd and Brad (the respective brains behind each product) is excellent. Price is right too. I've managed to integrate it into a wordpress blog or use it in straight up portfolio type work. Cheers, Chris Chris Heazell Network Administrator Glenbow Museum ph. (403) 268-4241 fax.

I just put this together last night, http://www.currentwork.com. I just started a business with my wife and wanted to see how easily I could get this up. I, as she puts it, tinker a lot with the computer so I could get around some of the applications (Macromedia Studio 8) a bit. It took about 5 hours. Its based off of the http://www.ronnykiaulehn.com/ website. You could make each gallery (click on the little box on the bottom left) into its own aural presentation of work. Ill try to make an example tonight of what Im talking about. The Slideshowpro Director interface for organizing and uploading images is great as well. Very clean. Also now $25. Both were easy to install. For $50 and a web host (around $8/mo.) you can really make some nice looking (simple) websites/presentations. Sorry about the green, lingering effects of St. Patty's Day.

[MCN-L] MARC record conversion into Excel or CSV?
Hi all: So the pressure is on to import a bunch of MARC records (in Word) into our shiny new CMS (EMu). I need to convert the MARC Word document into some format that I can then use to recode the MARC tags into EMu-speak. I've done this with our old records using Excel, and would like to use Excel again to work with the MARC records (yes, I recognize that this may mean that I'll have potentially 1000 or so columns to deal with). And our archivist is quite against Excel, and says that he can only get the MARC records in Word. I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm pressuring the powers that be to see if I can at least get the records in CSV or delimited text. However, I'm working with the assumption that Word is what I've got to work with. Unfortunately, all of our MARC records are in Word, and I can't get Word to break out the columns correctly (it wants to create a lot of rows instead of columns). I did find this older program, which makes me hopeful that this process won't be as complicated as I anticipate: MARC RTP http://rossjohnson.homemail.com.au/MARCRTP/ But I'm wondering if anyone else here has had to deal with this problem and what you did to solve it. Did you have a software package that helped you? Thanks in advance everyone! Perian Sully Collection Database Records Administrator Judah L.

Have you ever worked with MarcEdit? I can't swear that it will do what you need, but we use the tool a lot to convert records back and forth between MARC and other formats. http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php Terry Reese is a very responsive guy, and always seems glad to answer questions and add features.

[MCN-L] MARC record conversion into Excel or CSV?
We have done this using MARConvert when we needed to import records for our archival and special collections into TMS. The application is configurable to allow you to parse or suppress subfields in different ways so that the resulting data is much easier to work with. If your source format is Word, I'm not quite sure how/if the records could be ingested without first transforming them somehow, but Stephen Toney at Systems Planning might have some ideas for you. http://www.systemsplanning.com/marconvert/ Good luck, Deb Deborah Lenert Digital Projects Specialist Getty Research Institute Standards Digital Resource Mgt.

[MCN-L] MARC record conversion into Excel or CSV?
P, Do you know what application these are coming from? MARC is Word? That's...that's just crazy talk. To take the best advantage of things like MARCEdit, try to get the most basic form of the records if possible - preferably plain text. Especially if they can be exported with MARC headers intact. These include byte counts for the record and some tools use them to parse out fields, etc. Certain cataloging tools like Connexion will allow you to download binary formats of records, but they are hard to use outside of library systems. If you know any PERL there is a nice MARC module at CPAN.org http://rpm2html.osmirror.nl/CPAN_MARC.html This module was the heart of the MARC - mySQL scripts we ran at CDP. They now have a XML module if EMus eat XML. It didn't require a thousand columns because it just went and selected out the appropriate MARC fields that would be translated into our 15 Dublin Core fields, leaving everything else behind. This module does require the headers to be intact however. Note that there are theoretical limits to the numbers of rows in an Excel table (which I've run up against doing the sort of thing you'll be trying). I'm tempted to ask for a sample of MARC in Word just to see it.
