Test plan for the feature:
[1] Define one or more merge profiles in the MARC import/export
interface.
[2] Verify that the Default Merge Profile (Z39.50 and Record Buckets)
library setting type exists, and that if you set it to a value
for the workstation library, that it the merge profile selectors in the
record bucket merge and Z39.50 overlay interfaces default to
the specified value.
[3] In the web staff client, create a record bucket containing at least
two or more similar bibliographic records. From Bucket View,
select at least two records and select Merge Selected
Records from the actions menu.
[4] Verify that:
* There is a widget for selecting a merge profile
* That after choosing a lead record, that the lead record
view reflects the results of the merge.
* That the results of the merge are updated whenever you:
* choose a different merge profile
* choose a different lead record
* remove a record from consideration
* That the lead record's MARC is updated upon clicking the
'Merge' button in the dialog.
[5] In the web staff client, mark a bib record for overlay, then
go to the Z39.50 search interface and perform a search. Select
a record and click the Overlay button, then verify that:
* There is a widget for selecting a merge profile
* That the results of the merge are updated whenever you:
* choose a different merge profile
* That after closing the dialog, that the overlaid record
reflects the result of the merge profile.
[6] Verify that upon exiting and returning to the record bucket
merge or Z39.50 overlay interfaces, that the last selected
merge profile is pre-selected.
Development of this feature was performed by the Equinox Open
Library Initiative and sponsored by the BC Libraries Cooperative.

+New Access Points for MARC Merge/Overlay Profiles
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Catalogers can now select a MARC merge/overlay profile to apply when
+merging records in the (browser client) record bucket merge and Z39.50
+record overlay interfaces. In both interfaces, if the user selects
+a merge profile, the results of the merge are displayed, giving the
+user the opportunity to choose a different merge profile or edit
+the records involved prior to committing to the merge.
+
+A new library setting, "Default Merge Profile (Z39.50 and Record Buckets)",
+specifies the merge profile to preselect in the new merge profile
+selectors in the record bucket merge and Z39.50 overlay logs. The
+selectors will also remember the last selection that the user made.
