[Koha] Staging and matching authority records

[Hillyard, Cecil]

We use this a lot to download batches of authority records from SkyRiver

In Record Matching rules:

Match points: Match point 1
	Search index: LC-card-number
	Score:  1000
Matchpoint components
	Tag: 010
	Subfield:s a
	Offset: 0
	Length: 0

You just have to make sure that your current records do have 010s to match on.

Chris, we had trouble getting a matching rule for authorities. We ended up using the 001 field I recall. It makes use of the Zebra indexes, so it is important that you put the right one.
