Using MarcEdit to upgrade metadata | ANZREG 2026

Using MarcEdit to upgrade metadata A recorded session from the 2026 ANZREG Conference, held online from 25–27 August 2026. Session information 📅 Originally streamed: 26th August 2026 🎤 Presenter: Louise Carson 🏢 Organisation: Curtin University About this session High-quality metadata is essential for resource discovery, interoperability, and effective library services. However, legacy catalogue records often contain inconsistencies, outdated standards, or incomplete data that limit their usefulness in modern library systems. This presentation shows how we are using MarcEdit as a practical and efficient tool for upgrading and enhancing catalogue metadata. About the presenter Louise Carson is a seasoned professional with a diverse background in administration and library sciences. Her career began working in various sectors including legal, sports, mining, and oil and gas, with experience in tendering, heavy engineering, and underwater engineering. Holding a B. Criminology and Criminal Justice from Griffth University, M. Information Management from Curtin University and (soon) an M. Ancient History from Macquarie University, Louise has worked with various library roles at Curtin, including Document Delivery, Collections and Collection Development, Learning Success, and Discovery. Currently she is working on several fronts: as part of the implementation team for the new NDE interface with Alma; implementation and configuration of Primo VE; and undertaking the upgrade of metadata for our Special Collections to enhance their discoverability.
