+Record Buckets
+==============
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Record buckets are containers for MARC records. Once records are in a bucket, you can take
+various types of actions, including:
+
+* Editing all the records at once using the MARC Batch Editor.
+* Deleting all the records in the bucket.
+* Merging all the records in the bucket.
+* Downloading the MARC files for all records in the bucket, so you can edit them in another
+program like http://marcedit.reeset.net[MARCEdit].
+
+Creating Record Buckets
+-----------------------
+
+. Click on _Cataloging_ -> _Record Buckets_.
+. On the _Buckets_ menu, click _New Bucket_.
+. Give the bucket a name and (optionally) a description.
+
