The ability to create keyboard shortcuts to insert (paste) pre-defined text. Prior to the advanced marc editor added in Polaris 7.6, our catalogers were able to use the program QuickPaste in which we had lines and lines of pre-defined text often used in creating bib records. This was a huge time saver and this no longer works with marc editor.

Some examples of text we programmed are as follows:
Ctrl+Alt+B – opens a list of pre-defined text which our catalogers could select from when creating book records.
‡atext‡btxt‡2rdacontent > inserted into the 336 field
‡avolume‡bnc‡2rdacarrier > inserted into the 338 field
‡aFantasy fiction.‡2lcgft > inserted into the 655 field

Ctrl+Alt+D – opens a list of pre-defined text which our catalogers could select from when creating DVD / Blu-ray records.
‡aFilm adaptations.‡2lcgft > inserted into the 655 field
