[Evergreen-catalogers] Batch editing the 008

[Janet Schrader]

I do the load in two steps when I'm doing something like this for the first
time. First I create a queue only. Then I check to be sure the matching is
correct and load a record.  If the overlay is good, then I load the rest of
the file.
