[aisle] Destiny

[Kari S]

I can't speak to the details of it all but I'm pretty sure there is a way
to batch merge.

HOWEVER, I am still cleaning up records that were batch merged by someone
in our district a few years ago. Every book titled the same merged despite
being totally different books. So I have multiple books called Bears merged
into the same title record. All of my Vietnam War books were clumped
together. etc. Just be aware of that.
