BibsPost

Import MARC records to create and overlay bibliographic records in Polaris. An import job is created for each post. By default, Polaris attempts to match the incoming 001 tag to an existing bibliographic record ID. If Polaris finds a match, it modifies the existing record. If Polaris doesn't find a match, it creates a new bibliographic record.
