Jason, Thanks for the clarification on that- most helpful!
Getting back to the original question on this thread... Are we saying that there are 2 methods to add books? 1) import a batch Marc record. But then it's a manual thing to add it to holdings. 2) use a z39.50 server to search for it and use a fast add to add it to holdings in one step?
