[Evergreen-catalogers] Help with importing items and not keeping holdings field (945 or 949)

Thu May 7 16:05:39 EDT 2020

Hi Shon,

Yes, that is my plan now. In Vandelay, export out the non-imported
records.  The finish loading the queue so the items will be created. Then
edit the "non-imported" file to delete the 945 fields and load that file to
overlay the bibs so the 945 fields will go away. Those record loads can be
done at any time. The most important thing now is to get all those items in
as soon as possible.

It was so much simpler when the holdings import profile did that for me.
