[Koha] Batch edit to control fields?

[Caroline Cyr-La-Rose]

Hi Cab,

Unfortunately, Koha's MARC modification tool cannot do any changes in 
control fields, AFAIK.

I usually tell people to use MarcEdit to do such batch changes. Here's a 
procedure I wrote (in French, but I'm sure Google can translate it for 
you) :

I hope it helps,

Caroline
