Greetings Koha Community,
I am at my wits end. I have a marc file with 10 000 records on it. I want
to have this in my Koha installation for searching only. I am currently
cataloguing some books and I want to use this for searching through only,
if I find a marching record for a particular book then I import it in my
collection. When I finish cataloguing I then delete the collection because
I may not need it any more Please how do I go about it.
I am using Koha 3.16.04 on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS and I installed Koha
according to http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.x, using package
install
Kind Regards

If I understand you correctly, then this may be a solution:
Create a test instance of Koha and import your marc file to it.
Configure your Koha test instance as a z39.50 server. Add its details
as a z39.50 target in your production instance.
Search in your test instance for the records you are seeking. If you
find them, do a z39.50 search from your production instance and download
them from your test instance.
When you are finished, delete the test instance.
I hope I understood your question correctly.
Best wishes,
