+Z39.50 Batch Search and Queue
+=============================
+
+Staff Work Flow
+---------------
+
+ * Staff add records to bib record buckets
+ * Staff select the new "Locate Z39.50 Matches" action for a selected bucket.
+ * Staff choose which Z30.50 sources and indexes to search and the destination 
+   queue.
+ * Submitting the search fires a series of parallel Z39.50 searches across
+   all selected Z39.50 sources.
+ * Matches are added to the selected (Vandelay) queue.
+ * Matched records may be manually or automatically overlaid to existing 
+   catalog records using the existing Vandelay import/merge/overlay features.
+
+Vandelay Limit to Bucket
+------------------------
+
+As a side effect of this feature, Vandelay now has a new option in the 
+interface which allows staff to limit which catalog records to which an 
+inbound record matches to bib records within a record bucket.  When a record
+bucket and match set are chosen, only the records in the bucket can act as
+merge/overlay targets for the inbound Vandelay records.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Z39.50 Index Field Maps
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These map bib record indexes (Metabib Fields and Record Attributes) to Z39.50
+search attributes.  The purpose of the mapping is to allow the server to
+determine which values to use for the automated Z39.50 searches.  For example,
+if the Z39.50 "title" attribute is mapped to the "Uniform Title" Metabib Field,
+the extracted value for "Uniform Title" for each record in the bucket will be
+used as the "title" value in the Z39.50 search.
+
+Mappings can be applied to specific Z39.50 attributes, which define an attribute
+type and a Z39.50 source, or to generic attribute types (e.g. "title").  When
+a specific attribute is used, the mapping will only be applied to searches 
+directed at the Z39.50 source linked to the attribute.
+
+The management interface can be found in the staff client under 
+
+Admin => Server Administration => Z39.50 Index Field Maps
