Re: ARN - Authority record load table

[Jeffrey A Trimble <jtrimble at cc dot ysu dot edu>]

Our 010 $a is copied into the 001.  This works great
for overlaying since 001 is our match point.

I remember reading somewhere that OCLC does renumber
their authority records every so many years, and so the ARN
cannot be depended on as a matchpoint.  And I've actually
ran into that issue once or twice in the past 10 years.
