[Evergreen-catalogers] Batch editing the 008

[Kate Coleman]

Janet, that's exactly why I was trying to avoid MarcEdit. I use it daily to
edit my batch on-order MARCs, but exporting, editing, and importing back in
sounds a bit daunting. I've never even batchloaded into EG when it's not an
on-order load, so I'm not even sure what my matchpoints and all that should
be.
