[Koha] Strange uploading procedure

[Jesse Lambertson]

Katrin,

Thank you for your reply.

With the first batch, I DID import multiple times as I fixed things.

I reversed the import, but this does not clean the previously imported
records out. I didn't know this would happen. Like I said, I am learning a
great deal about how Koha works even as I am setting it up (with some
assistance from a local system admin).

Might this be one of those situations where I need to work with my admin
people and rebuild my indexing?

Thanks again,

Jesse
