[OPEN-ILS-DEV] setting the source

[Grant Johnson]

You got it Robert.

The Vandelay source dropdown needs to display config.bib_source.source
and set  value config.bib_source.id in biblio.record_entry.source.
It is displaying the source strings fine but not setting any values at
all in the imported record
