Available options for handling the fields include: + +. _Preserve specification_ - fields in the existing record that should be preserved. + +. _Replace specification_ - fields in existing record that should be replaced by those in the incoming record. + +. _Add specification_ - fields from incoming record that should be added to existing record (in addition to any already there.) + +. _Remove specification_ - fields that should be removed from incoming record. + +. _Update bib source_ - If this value is false, just the bibliographic data will be updated when you overlay a new MARC record. If it is true, then Evergreen will also update +the record's bib source to the one you select on import; the last edit date to the date the new record is imported, and the last editor to the person who imported the new +record. + +You can add multiple tags to the specification options, separating each tag with a comma. + Import Item Attributes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- 2.11.0
