MarcEdit
MarcEdit is a metadata editing software suite used primarily to create and manipulate MARC records. Originally developed by Terry Reese in 1999 for a major database cleanup project at Oregon State University, the software was released for wider use in the LIS field. As of 2011, it was used in 143 countries.
Use cases

- Catalogers can use MarcEdit's implementation of the OCLC Worldcat API to read and write records in WorldCat.
- MarcEdit can be used to batch-edit authority records.
- MarcEdit can add dereferencable URIs to bibliographic records that use authority control that uniquely identify the relevant authority record.
