[OPEN-ILS-DEV] problems running the import demo on my own data

[Dan Scott]

See the information at
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-admin:importing:bibrecords#converting_marc_records_to_evergreen_bre_json_format
that addresses exactly this problem (well, recognizes the problem, but
doesn't offer a straightforward fix).

What tool did you use to convert the records to MARCXML format?
