Hi all, We are currently working on implementation of Czech national authorities to Evergreen. We have already done a lot of work but yet new and new problems to be solved emerge before us ;-) . I would like to ask you for a help with two questions:
1) *How is it possible to define a controls set for authority batch import?* So far we have defined new control set for national authorities, we have assigned thesauri to it and addend authority fields. Than we have successfully imported MARC XML file containing Czech national authorities. The problem is that each of the imported authority record have been automatically assigned to the thesaurus „n“ (which stands for „not applicable“) defined in Library of Congress control set. How shall we define the proper thesaurus and control set? Is it possible to define the thesaurus and control set for the import file (e.g. in the import script)? Or is it necessary to add appropriate thesaurus code somewhere to MARC authority record in the import file before the import? 2) My second question is *how do you provide the regular batch update of existing authority record in Evergreen*? Could you share your workflow with us? As we consider possible scenario for updating authority records that already exist in the Evergreen without breaking the linking to bibliographic records any idea would by very helpful for us.
