This post is more for MVLC member libraries' staff than for the community at large, which is a bit of a switch for us. This blog is meant to be for the benefit of our members as much as it is for the benefit of the community.
Starting tonight, September 13, 2012, MVLC central site staff will run the script for linking authorities with bibs in Evergreen, authority_control_fields.pl. We plan to run it on batches of 10,000 bibs at a time with up to four batches running simultaneously. We will do just four batches on the first night to see how long that takes. Depending on the results, we may bump the number up to 8 or 16 batches per night, or adjust the number of simultaneously running batches downward.
Depending upon how many batches we can successfully complete in a night, this will take us anywhere from six to twenty-two days to complete.
While I don't expect this to have any impact on production performance whatsoever, we are still running this at night as a precaution.
If there's any interest in the comments, I'll post updates as this progresses or not.
