I believe what you need to do is to get the MARC records staged for import
but not actually complete the import. Then when you make a search in the
cataloging module, you should get a hit from the reservoir which would have
the records you staged for import.

Go to  " Tools > Stage MARC records for import " then import the file,
don't follow through with the last step of importing into the catalog.

Once done with the cataloging, go to " Tools > Staged MARC management " and
you should be able to clean the records from the reservoir.

Hope this helps.
