[Evergreen-catalogers] Loading authorities through the client

[Jane Sandberg]

Hi Mary,

Here's how I usually do this:

1. Record Type=Authority records
2. Give the queue a name
3. Record match set = LBCC AUTH
4. Record Source=[name of authority vendor]
5. Import non-matching records should be checked, all others unchecked
6. Choose the authority file and upload

The LBCC AUTH record match set is very simple, just matching on the
normalized heading.

It might also be worth throwing your file into Terry Reese's MarcEdit
program to double check that the record is valid MARC.

Hope this helps,

   -Jane
