+MARC Import Tag Stripping
+=========================
+
+Administrators can configure MARC tags which are removed from MARC records
+imported via Z39.50 and the Vandelay MARC Import/Export UI (ACQ and non-ACQ).
+Tags are organized into groups. Groups can be marked as optional or required.
+For each tag, every instance of the tag (including all subfields) are removed
+from the record.
+
+MARC fields which are contained within required ('always_apply') tag groups
+are always removed from inbound records. No action is needed. Tag groups
+which are optional will appear in MARC import interfaces (see below) allowing
+staff to select which groups of tags to strip from incoming records at import
+time.
