Hi, Tony.
From the staff client side you can import barcodes into the item status
screen to delete them using the Upload from File button. If all your
report has is the barcodes you can save the excel file and import it
straight into Item Status. (If the report has other fields, strip them
from the file) However, I'd recommend breaking them into smaller chunks
(100-200 or so) at a time. I just copy and paste groups from my report
into a notepad file. Then you click the Upload from File, select your
file and the items load. Highlight them and delete the whole group. It's
a pretty quick and easy process. But I bet there would be a better way
from the back end if it's a truly massive group. Somebody else will have
to direct you there.

Hi all,
Was wondering if I could post this out to the group for ideas?
Working with a massive list of electronic resource bib records that
are
needing some mistakenly added item records removed from them. I've
been
able to create a list of item barcodes in the reports module. Is
there a
way I can mass add these items via a copy bucket so that I can delete
them
all at once from my list of bib records?
Or....is there a faster (better, cheaper, etc.) method of mass
deleting
item records from the bibliographic records that I'm not aware of?
This
involves electronic resource records, which don't need any attached
item
records. PSQL operation maybe that you have used before?
Thanks for any links, thoughts, your experience on this as you have a
minute or two....
Tony
