Thanks, Jane. Very likely I need it later. Tina

Very glad that it was helpful, Tina. One resource that I found
helpful during our own start-fresh process was this presentation by
Galen Charlton, Mary Jinglewski, and Chad Cluff:

Slide 41 has the command to get rid of all the authority records in
your system, when you're ready for that piece. :-)

Hi Jane,
I want to say thank you so much! I went through your blog. My colleague,
Mark, tried your script. We successfully downloaded a few records from LOC.
But it took so long, due to LOC's restriction.
I am properly too ambitious at the moment. I am hoping a fresh start. The
linking and indexing is a lengthy process. If I can not get it done this
way, I may have to cherry pick and download from LOC.
Again, thank you so much! Your blog provided enormous help to me.

Hi Tina,
We do the following:
* Use SQL queries to generate a list of headings in the catalog
* Use a script to pull all those headings from LOC into one huge MARC file
* Upload that MARC file into Evergreen
Here's the script we use; improvements are very welcome:

And this blog post includes the SQL queries that we use to generate
those heading lists in the first place:

It's not a perfect process, but it is free (our favorite price). :-)

Hello everyone,
We've been exploring authority control and planning to apply it. We have
an
old version of LCSH (over 10 years). We hope to start with a newer
version.
I found only meta records on LOC website. Downloading from LOC seems
infeasible, considering the amount. We also do not have the budget to
engage
an vendor to do it for us now. I wonder whether anyone knows where to
find
LCSH MARC records, or anyone may share with us.
Any information will be appreciated.
Thank you
Tina Ji
