I think the key is his description "similar to circ's current
branchtransfers.pl script." That means scanning each item individually
with the updates happening in individually, rather than collecting
barcodes in a batch for processing en masse. Does that sound right
Mason?

It may not have a functional difference as far as your requirements
go, but I would hope that a "Bulk status change" feature would offer
more than one way of building a batch, just like the inventory script
gives you the option of choosing a call number range, barcode range,
etc.  That's just my idea of it though.
