--- Comment #2 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
There are actually quite a lot of cases that come to mind, where a record has
no items but is still wanted/needed:

* Set type records for multi-volumes
* Series type records for traced series
* Records where the item is linked using EasyAnalytics
* Analytical records using 773 standard linking
* Serials where the library has subscriptions and issues, but doesn't create
items
* Acquisition records where the library doesn't attach items or new standing
order records
* Electronic resources - 856 might not be best, as it could also be some other
type of content enrichment like a scanned TOC. Maybe 007, Pos. 0?

Maybe an option: add a --WHERE SQL condition option to the existing
batchdeletebiblios.pl. 

This way it would allow libraries to easily specifiy "has no items", without
going into the rabbit hole of discussing all the above cases. Keeping it
simple.
