one of the benefits of this approach was the opportunity to test the circ rules to make sure that I had gotten them right
however, of the 4,…
There are 495,508 of them - the process of crafting the bibLoad.pl script, and testing it as each component was added, took much longer than I expected. But once it started it took less than a week for it to complete it's work.
Now we are testing random titles to make sure that they arrived safely in FOLIO.
at least it feels that way
I've finished coding and testing bibLoad.pl and am going to go for a walk and not think about it for a little while.
then I'm going to load the not-bibliographic stuff, delete said stuff from the ILS, harvest all of the MARCs one last time, and run bibLoad.pl for real
