The Cataloguing Bulk Edit feature allows users to modify sets of Spydus bibliographic records from within the web based app.

Previously, to bulk edit Spydus bib records, a user would need to;

• search Spydus for the desired record set,
• export the bib records to a MARC file,
• open the MARC file in the Cataloguing module,
• use the Select/Change feature to update the records,
• re-load the records into Spydus

Bulk Edit has streamlined that process.

1. Navigate to Cataloguing > MARC > Bulk Edit.
2. Click the Add to List button in the action bar.
3. Perform a Bibliographic Search to return the record set.
   • Click Select Set at the Brief Display to add the records to the Bulk Edit list.
4. From the Edit menu, click the Select/Change option.

5. Use the Select/Change function to select which fields/subfields/indicators etc to modify, and how they are to be changed.
6. Validate the changed records to ensure that they remain consistent with MARC standards (Tools menu > Validate Record(s) or Validate All Records).
7. Click Save All to commit the changes to Spydus.
