We're currently sketching out the process and scripts for adding $0 to 
our (existing) Voyager records in bulk, having already done some 
proof-of-concept testing, and will be eager to share our discoveries.

will be learning quite a lot.

Speaking of steps that can be taken now: Has anyone incorporated the 
MarcEdit Link Identifiers tool into their cataloging workflows? If so, how?
