[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Load MARC Order Record

[Donald Butterworth]

Kathy & All,

I began trying to make this work by doing a Google search for MARC Batch
Import/Export and found documentation that stated specifically that
creating copy records was not an option. It must have been old
documentation. I'll go back to the drawing board and call for help again if
I hit a brick wall

Thanks Kathy and ... looking forward to meeting some of y'all at the
upcoming conference in beautiful Kentucky.

Don
