We are a new site and have just had authority work and brief record upgrade service done by MARCIVE. We have instructions on how to import these into the system, but not having done this before, and there is not much in the manual regarding screen prints, we don't know what to expect. If you have done this and can offer any tips, advise, or caveats, I would appreciate hearing from you.
