--- Comment #29 from Esther Melander <esther.melander at bywatersolutions.com> ---
I agree that moving the 001 control number of an incoming authority record to
the 035 needs to happen. Some third party suppliers of authority records are
using the 001 for their control number. Once that record is imported, the third
party control number is lost. On the next round of authority updates it then
becomes impossible to match and overlay those records. If the incoming
authority is missing the corresponding 003, then it should just be left off
when the number is copied over to the 035. If this copying action is done, then
the 003 should be the local organizations code or blank if not defined.

The current work around is to edit the authorities using MarcEdit to move/copy
the 001 control number to the 035 before importing. A task that could be pretty
tedious when there are thousands of records that need to be imported and
overlaid every three months.
