[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] How to set up Syndetic AddedContent in TPAC? (EG 2.2.0)

[Yamil Suarez]

Ben,

Thanks! I think it working now, but I might be dealing with a lack of  
enough UPC data or bad UPC data in my records to appreciate how well  
it is actually working.

I might post another question when I am done researching this more.

Thanks again,
Yamil
