[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Linking bibliographic records to non-LoC authorities using a support script

[Mike Rylander]

Hi Vaclav,

The script has an internalized summary of the LoC control set, and
doesn't load it from the server.  With development, it should be
possible to teach authority_control_fields.pl how to load the control
set definition from the database.  That's still on my wish list,
though.  As with most new features, it's a matter of time and
priority...

Thanks,

--
