Re: [IUG] Attaching item records in a batch?

Hi, Patricia.
As far as I know, this cannot be done within III. We use the freeware 
MarcEdit to do a lot of this kind of thing.
If you can gather the bibs into a review file, you can export them out of 
III, use MarcEdit to insert item-generating 949 lines into all the records, 
and then reload the records to III. (This is why I was so thrilled to see 
that in Millennium we could get and put records directly to the PC, instead 
of having to ftp everything.)
If you want more specifics, feel free to contact me offline.

Cheers,
Marty Jenkins
