There's often more than one way to do things. Olugbenga's solution is
quicker and easier. I'm glad it worked for you.

Hello, Mr Olugbenga Adara,
Thanks for your solution. It worked liked a charm. I am now able to import
records from the reservoir into Koha through the cataloguing module. Thank
you so much.
I also tried Bob Birchall solution too but did not know how to log into the
Koha instance, create the instance as Z39.50 server and import the records.
I failed and I think its mainly because of my limited knowledge. I will
continue trying. Thanks a million though

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 believe what you need to do is to get the MARC records staged for
import but not actually complete the import. Then when you make a search in
the cataloging module, you should get a hit from the reservoir which would
have the records you staged for import.
Go to " Tools > Stage MARC records for import " then import the file,
don't follow through with the last step of importing into the catalog.
Once done with the cataloging, go to " Tools > Staged MARC management "
and you should be able to clean the records from the reservoir.
Hope this helps.
