Starting with VuFind 1.1, it is also possible to import authority records into VuFind's separate authority index (see the [[development:architecture:authority_control|Authority Control]] page for more details). A special tool (import-marc-auth.sh under Linux, import-marc-auth.bat under Windows) is provided to help with this. This works exactly like the standard import-marc script, except the SolrMarc settings are found in import/import_auth.properties, the default MARC mappings are found in import/marc_auth.properties, and you may provide a second parameter after the MARC filename to specify a set of additional MARC mappings to override the defaults in marc_auth.properties. | It is also possible to import authority records into VuFind's separate authority index (see the [[development:architecture:authority_control|Authority Control]] page for more details).

Important: The default properties assume a unique identifier in the 010 field. If your identifiers are in 001 (common for ILS exports), specify marc_auth_ils.properties as the second parameter of the script. If your identifiers are somewhere else, you may need to build your own custom properties. | Important: The default properties assume a unique identifier in the 010 field.

Authority data is currently used in two ways: it can be searched through the simple Authority module (found at http://your_server/vufind/Authority/Home), and it provides "see also" and "use instead" references within the index generated by the [[Alphabetical Heading Browse]] feature. Additionally, you can choose to activate the Authority Recommend module which will provide Search recommendations to users based on a search of the Authority Index for their current search terms. E.g., if users search for a known pseudonym, the Authority Recommend module will suggest that they search for the registered heading instead. | Authority data is currently used in two ways: it can be searched through the simple Authority module (found at http://your_server/vufind/Authority/Home), and it provides "see also" and "use instead" references within the index generated by the [[Alphabetical Heading Browse]] feature.

== Troubleshooting Under Windows == | |
| |
If you have trouble importing authority records under Windows, it may have to do with the classpath settings in some of the .bsh files found in the import/index_scripts subdirectory of your VuFind installation. Try changing the addClassPath("../import"); lines to addClassPath("c:/vufind/import"); where "c:/vufind/import" is the path to the import subdirectory of your VuFind installation. Note the use of forward slashes -- this is acceptable and simplifies escaping issues, even in the Windows environment. | |

Starting with VuFind 1.2, it is possible to harvest full text from URLs found in MARC records. This requires that you first install [[indexing:full_text_tools|a full-text extraction tool]] and then uncomment the appropriate fulltext line in import/marc_local.properties. Comments in the property file explain exactly how the functionality works. Full text indexing is disabled by default. | It is possible to harvest full text from URLs found in MARC records.
