Linda and Margo,

I know I sound a bit like a broken record, but when you are overlaying
records that you have exported from your database, *please* do not use
001 as the match point (unless you are specifically setting it as some
sort of accession number). 001 is not guaranteed to be unique or even
exist. It generally contains the OCLC number for records you've imported
from OCLC, but one could fly a vintage inter-war airplane through an
arch made of the records not covered by that "generally" without
knocking any loose with the wings. Use 999$c and biblionumber for the
matching rule. That is guaranteed to be unique and have a 1-to-1 match.

Regards,
Jared

    Linda,

    Yes, that's how we fix batches of records; we match on the 001.

    Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

    Subject: [Koha] batch updates of bibliographic records using MarcEdit

    All,
    I was looking at Nicole's excellent tutorial at
    http://networkedblogs.com/sSegb  on using MarcEdit to Add Koha
    Items, and I was wondering if it might be possible to select a group
    of records that had errors, use MarcEdit to correct those errors,
    and  load them back using the Marc Import matching on the 001 or
    the 999c or some other field? Â Has anyone done something like this
    or is there another way?

    Thanks!
