My interpretation of the OCLC documentation is that batch processing will be
available with version 1.20 of the Connexion client due out in the
November/December timeframe. The current version of the client is 1.10.
Batch processing will not be available in the browser version of Connexion.

We currently use Passport to search for records, add a line to ensure the 
record will come into III (*ins=[username]) and, if necessary overlay an 
existing record (ov=[b number]).  The records are exported to a batch 
file.   The batch is then uploaded to the III system.

Can someone who is using Connection let me know if this is all currently 
possible?  I read the comparison chart on OCLC's web site, and one part 
made me think that records can not be batched when exported.

Is this correct?

Thanks, collective wisdom.

Penny
