[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Cataloging questions

[Melissa Lowenberg]

Hello list members,
Is there a way to "clone" a record in Evergreen?  That is, if you have 
the 2010 edition of a travel guide, can you simply modify the 2009 
record, and save it as a new record by changing the appropriate 
information and giving it a new control number?

Also, when you are doing a batch upload of records is there any way to 
"force" a record to load even if it matches one already in the 
database?  Since I use a different MARC editor than the one in 
Evergreen, I would find it easier to improve records by loading a better 
version of the record, then merging the two.  Is this possible?  I have 
tried not checking the "Auto-Import Non-Colliding Records" box, then 
selecting the records I want to load and "Importing Selected" - this 
didn't seem to replace or duplicate the record in question.

Any assistance would be much appreciated,
Melissa
