New Access Points for MARC Merge/Overlay Profiles

Catalogers can now select a MARC merge/overlay profile to apply when merging records in the (browser client) record bucket merge and Z39.50 record overlay interfaces. In both interfaces, if the user selects a merge profile, the results of the merge are displayed, giving the user the opportunity to choose a different merge profile or edit the records involved prior to committing to the merge.

A new library setting, "Default Merge Profile (Z39.50 and Record Buckets)", specifies the merge profile to preselect in the new merge profile selectors in the record bucket merge and Z39.50 overlay logs. The selectors will also remember the last selection that the user made.
