Nicely done, Bob! I hope you'll post the solrmarc import specs somewhere. Sounds like a writeup of your process would make a really interesting blog post & I bet you're not the only person who's going to want to do that once you've got it working. Did you make any attempt at de-duping? Or do you know that UVa doesn't already have a catalog entry for any of the books? Or is it a different edition so it doesn't matter?
