Re: [CODE4LIB] MARC magic for file

2011-04-01 Thread Owen Stephens
I'm sure any decent MARC tool can deal with them, since decent MARC tools are certainly going to be forgiving enough to deal with four characters that apparently don't even really matter. You say that, but I'm pretty sure Marc4J throws errors MARC records where these characters are incorrect

[CODE4LIB] PDF to Word converter?

2011-04-01 Thread Carol Bean
I have WordPerfect X4, which does a questionable job of (natively) converting pdf's, and from which one could then copy and paste the questionable results into a Word document. Has anyone been down this road before (trying to find something better than what WordPerfect does, and that works

I know you're looking for PDF to Word, but just as an fyi, I recently used Office Convert to convert PDF to JPG and it worked very well: http://download.cnet.com/Office-Convert-PDF-to-JPG-JPEG-TIFF-Free/3000-10743_4-10900900.html -Cheryl On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 12:53 PM, Carol Bean

Hey, folks -- So far no one has signed up to present on Monday and only one person has signed up to attend. It sounds like the idea of virtual lightning talks isn't going to fly. If you have feedback (e.g., not interesting, not enough lead time to prepare, wrong time of day/week/year), I'd

This may only be available in Acrobat and not Reader, but I can choose File -- Save As and choose to save the PDF as a Word .doc file. Results are usually okay, but the formating is done with text boxes instead of the normal way. Off topic: How's your Digital Asset Management software comparison

2011-04-01 Thread Carol Bean
Yeah - I just found out about the Save As trick from another list. In Acrobat 9, which is what I'm using, it doesn't render much better than Word Perfect (both have formatting issues, but they're different). But I also just learned from another post that Acrobat X does the job beautifully. Re:

Re: [CODE4LIB] regexp for LCC?

2011-04-01 Thread Kelley McGrath
At one point, much to my surprise, someone told me that 050 is defined for numbers assigned by LC not for LCC numbers per se. It doesn't really sound like that from the current definition (http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd050.html), but if you look on the ITS page

I agree with Luciano that the lead time was a bit short for me. Well, maybe not specifically because it was short, but it does conflicts with something else I have to do and I don't have time to reschedule. I really like this idea and I hope it can be successful, so I hope this message brought a

I also like this idea, and it also conflicts for my schedule, but I was contemplating skipping my other commitment to attend this. Hadn't decided for sure, as I was waiting to see a few of the Virtual LT talk titles that signed up (hah!). Also, I am a bit of a newcomer to code4lib, having never
