[Koha] Breeding farm to biblio question

[Gregory Garretson]

Hello,

I've recently got all my (several thousand) MARC records imported into 
the breeding farm (in v 2.0.0), and I want to get them into the catalog. 
As I understand it, using acqui.simple, there are three ways to get 
records into the catalog: searching on ISBN (which I don't have in most 
cases, unfortunately), searching on title, and creating an empty biblio, 
which may be filled in via a Z39.50 search. This last doesn't pull 
records from the breeding farm, so it's only ISBN and title search that 
can be used for that.

My question is, is there an easier way to create a biblio entry and an 
item entry for each of these records in the breeding farm without typing 
the titles in one by one? (It may be that this would violate some 
standard library practices, but this is really just meant to be a 
catalog import, not an inventory.)

I also have a question about getting the LC numbers I have added to show 
up in the addbiblio routine, but I'll save that one for later. :-)

Thanks,
