Fred, Ebooks is the classic best case use of the Undo Import feature. Especially in a case like yours were the bibs have no items. You can import the batch (maybe with a note to show when to remove) And when you're ready, you undo the import and those bibs are removed. You should not see any issues in the use-case you describe.
Your other option of creating an itemtype of R2 records works as well. You can use a Report to gather the itemnumbers for the R2 items, feed them into the Batch Deletion tool and remove them (and the bib) that way. This way is a bit more work, but works just as well. joy On Fri, Dec 2, 2016 at 7:17 AM, King, Fred <fred.k...@medstar.net> wrote: > Raymund, and others who have used the Undo Import feature, > > Since I was about to do pretty much the same thing, could you tell me what > little tendrils were left when you did an Undo?
