Hello everyone,

Much like some other folks in the community, we've recently exported our DB out 
for authority work and have just finished reloading it and a brand new set of 
authority records.  We've also subscribed to an ongoing quarterly process to 
keep everything up to date.

-----------------

I was wondering if anyone had a process to determine which records to send out 
on a quarterly basis.  I know we can use the create_date for new bibs, but how 
do you determine what pre-existing bibs to resend back for authority control, 
for example bibs that have been overlaid by a Z39.50 record that has been 
brought in through the system?  There's the edit_date field, but I wasn't sure 
if that would be the most accurate method.

Any thoughts you can share will be most appreciated!

PS:  If there is a link somewhere that I may have missed in researching this, 
feel free to send that as well!
