[Evergreen-general] Using CSV file to add to Record bucket

[Jennifer Pringle]

Hi Francene,

Unfortunately it's not currently possible to load a file of record IDs  
or TCNs into a Record Bucket.

This has been submitted to Launchpad as a wishlist -  
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1784412

However, you may be able to copy a queue to a bucket as a workaround.

Go to Cataloguing -> MARC Batch Import/Export
Click on Inspect Queue
Double click on the queue you want to copy
In the queue there is a box listing Queue Actions, one of which is  
Copy Queue to Bucket.  This lets you copy the queue to a new or  
existing record bucket.
 From there you should be able to select the ones you want to delete.

Whether this will work for you as a workaround will depend on whether  
you're running a version of Evergreen that has this feature (I'm not  
sure when this feature was added but we have it in 3.7.) and whether  
you have the queues from the original record imports (and whether  
going through them to find the records to be deleted saves you any  
time).

Hope this helps,

Jennifer
