Purpose
quickMARC is designed to be a lightweight MARC record editing tool, meant for quick edits of existing records. While quickMARC is its own module, it's built like a helper app and is accessed through Inventory, via the Instance detail view's Actions dropdown menu. "Edit in quickMARC" is available for instances whose source record is a MARC record. quickMARC saves to SRS (source record storage) and updates the Source Record and the Inventory instance record. quickMARC is best used in addition to other cataloging tools.

- User cannot edit or delete field 999ff
- User cannot edit field 005
- Do not use $9 in fields that can be be linked to an authority record. It has been reserved for authority records UUIDs
- Only positions 5, 8, 17, 18 and/or 19 in the Leader can be edited
- There must be one and not more than one field 245 for the record to save to SRS
- 008 bytes Type and BLvl must match positions 6 and 7 in the Leader for the record to save to SRS
- The Leader must contain 24 characters, including null spaces, for the record to save to SRS
- Each field number or "tag" must contain three characters, for example, 020, 110, etc., for a record to save to SRS
- If you have a word with a dollar sign ($) at the beginning or in middle of it, use all caps so the system does not think it is a delimiter (e.g. KE$HA, not Ke$ha)
- If you have a dollar sign ($) before numbers, (e.g. $40 million), you will either need to use brackets or a space to keep the system from thinking it is a delimiter (e.g. $[40] million or $ 40 million)
- Words can end in a dollar sign ($) without needing to be capitalized (e.g. leave$)
Record status:
When a record is opened, edited or saved in quickMARC, a status will appear towards the top of the record
- "Current" - it's up to date and should be the same as the Instance & SRS records
- "In Progress" - a change has been made, but it has not made it to the Instance and/or SRS yet
- "Error" - something is preventing an update from moving to the Instance or SR
