<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">I also use MARCedit to combine small files into a single large one. I also use MARCedit to split files if I get very large files such as those from EBSCO or EBrary. I find
that Vandelay dies if the file being loaded is too large. The largest one I ever successfully loaded was 1,800 records but it was very slow. So I split large files into multiple files of 1,000.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">If you haven’t used MARCedit, I highly recommend it. It’s a free software program that allows you to join, split, and edit MARC records. There’s also a MARCedit listserv if
you need help with the software.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The problem with OneClick and Overdrive is the slowness in downloading the files. Particularly Overdrive. I don’t understand why OCLC may post 18 files in a single day when
there are only three formats, e-audio, e-book, and e-video. Some files have a single record. Very frustrating.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Our network is on REL 2.4. I welcome any suggestions on how to load bib records into EG as I am now working on loading files of over 30,000 records each for two libraries.
That’s a total of 60+ files. Vandelay loads about 40-50 records per minute. I have two academic libraries that purchased EBSCO for 4-year colleges and want me to load 112,000 records.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering how other catalogers upload/import .mrc files from services such as OneClick and Overdrive. We currently upload the files individually into a batch to import into Evergreen. It can be very time consuming since sometimes
we have multiple files and I have to add them one at a time to my batch. We have been getting some big files though and I was wondering if there is a better way to do this.
