Hi Janet,<br>
<br>
I am also loading large, identical collections for more than one
library. I have begun using the Tasks feature in MARCedit to create
multiple 856 fields in the bib records. The result is that I am able
to create an 856 field for each library and then load the file only
once. Tasks allows you to assign multiple operations to a function
key. It's like a little macro. You may need more than one Task to do
what you need to do, but Tasks is saving me a huge amount of
processing and loading time on these big files. <br>
<br>
If you need more information on Tasks, let me know.<br>

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.

you haven’t used MARCedit, I highly recommend it. It’s a

edit MARC records. There’s also a MARCedit listserv if you
need help with the software.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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>

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.
