Tristan, I may be able to shed some light on this ("may" being the
operative term). It could help me to see a record in your database that
is also in OL -- actually 2 or 3 would be good, since there are always
individual quirks.
It may have to do with how OL handled the 880 fields in the MARC record,
if you do use MARC. But that'll become clearer if with a comparison of
the input records and the OL version.
Thanks,
kc
