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

[Elaine Hardy]

As Jennifer says, there is not currently a way to load a record bucket from
a CSV file. You can add one from item status; but, since these are records
for e-resources, I assume that there are no barcodes to use to load item
status.

If there is a common term in the bib records for them, you can do a search
in record query within the record bucket interface and load the records
from there.
