[Koha] Replace all existing call numbers with LoC

[Jesse A Lambertson]

Daniel,

I think for LoC, you can only do one direct import at a time unless you 
order records through their record distribution service (which costs $).

Please correct me if I am wrong.

If you used OCLC, you could perhaps put together a file of LC records 
and do a mass import (setting holdings data before import).
Otherwise, assuming LC has catalogued every item you have, you will need 
to do one search at a time - probably with the Z39.50 search tool.

Thoughts on this from anyone else?

Thanks,

Jesse
