[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Edit date in bib records--can you help?

[Tony Bandy]

Hello everyone,

Much like some other folks in the community, we've recently exported our DB out for authority work and have just finished reloading it and a brand new set of authority records.  We've also subscribed to an ongoing quarterly process to keep everything up to date.

-----------------

I was wondering if anyone had a process to determine which records to send out on a quarterly basis.  I know we can use the create_date for new bibs, but how do you determine what pre-existing bibs to resend back for authority control, for example bibs that have been overlaid by a Z39.50 record that has been brought in through the system?  There's the edit_date field, but I wasn't sure if that would be the most accurate method.

Any thoughts you can share will be most appreciated!
