Thank you for your responses!
I guess I'm a little grumpy today, but ...
Does anyone have any idea which algorithm or workflow was used to create the
authority record loads we're getting? I truly do not understand why the
authority records for the federal government cabinet departments are coming in
with subunits attached instead of just the main headings (ex. United States. $b
Dept. of Justice etc.) coming through first. In my mind it would be a more
logical way of doing things.
Sorry, I am almost done with the first load of 10,000 plus/minus records and am
facing another 20,000 records.
And yes, I'm the only one who does authority work here at Kresge!
Thank you!
