[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Books only coming up by TCN

[Victoria Bush]

I've had similar problems; in my case, if I try to re-import the  
record by grabbing the data via Z39.50 first, I can overlay the data  
and get the record to be visible using other fields. I'm glad to see  
the script, though, and I think I'll try that out and see if it works.
