[Koha] Fwd: Authorities help

[Ben Ide]

Man, will I *ever* get used to the "do not reply to list" thing?

This was supposed to be public.

Thanks,

Thank you all for your kind welcome.

Actually, I think this enhancement request might already be there:
http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2060

I'm *definitely* in favor of this.  We're dying a slow death without a
way to import LC (or OCLC) authority records.

Thanks,
-- Ben
