<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>On batch edits of records and items,
I’m using Koha Tools and MarcEdit. On record matching rules for
re-import, we cannot make use of ISBN or ISSN as neither have been used in
legacy catalogue. We’ve been advised to use Koha biblio number as
the unique identifier.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Might anyone be able to share settings for
a record matching rule on the Koha biblio number, 999c? I looked in the
manual, but it didn’t seem to provide enough info for me to actually set
up this rule.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>For testing, I’m exporting a single
biblio *.mrc, making edits w/ MarcEdit *.mrk, re-compiling to *.mrc, then
staging w/ Koha Tools. Koha then gives me a no_match on the record, so I
suspect that I’ve used incorrect settings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
