it wasn't till after I created most of the instances, holdingsRecords, and items that I learned that EDS requires MARC records to be in what the folks at EBSCO are calling Source Record Storage which is actually the records db table. So, in order for EDS to look to FOLIO re the library catalog, and for Patron Functionality to work, it will be necessary to reProcess all of the MARCs that are in the folio MySQL db like so:

But all of that is going to take time and so here's the plan:

  1. set up a page process on Walter that will enable us to add or edit titles and update both instances and records while keeping Walter's Solr index up-to-date
  2. add records for all of the instances that currently have items checked out in the loans db table
  3. send that questionnaire back to EBSCO and get Patron Functionality off the ground
  4. load records for the rest of the recordLess instances
  5. load instances and records for all Louisa titles
