[Evergreen-acq] Settings on Load MARC Order Records

Fri May 28 10:20:04 EDT 2021

Hi Tiffany,

Great session yesterday!

I think that org unit settings would provide the flexibility that most
libraries need, and eliminate having to set each workstation individually.
However, having a defaults page like in the Holdings Editor would allow for
even more flexibility. Either of these options would be great.
