[Koha] Importing Authority data

[Elaine Bradtke]

You will need to import the authority files as MARC records before you run perl
script link_bibs_to_authorities.pl
(default - /usr/share/koha/bin/).

There are ways to create authority records from new catalogue records as
you create them.. I don't think it is possible to derive them from your
existing records already in Koha as a batch process.  Doing it manually
(one record at a time) would be slow and painful if you have a lot of
records.
