Elaine, I don't believe the order of import matters too much, since the bulkmarcimport script won't automatically do the linking for you. They will need to be loaded separately, since you have to use a different switch to do biblios than authorities. (-a for authorities, -b or nothing for biblios) You'll need to run link_bibs_to_authorities.pl after both have been imported to get them connected. This will take a pretty long time, depending on the number of biblios you have. Hope this helps! -Ian On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 10:22 AM, Elaine Bradtke <eb@efdss.org> wrote:
A question of timing. At present, our authorities records are separate from the bibliographic data. I had thought of importing them in two batches. If I do that, which comes first, the authorities, or the bibliographic records? Or, do I have to put them all into the same import? Can do. . . just a little intimidated by the thought. . .
