Hi Chris,

Depending on the options you chose when extracting records, you can either use the MARC Join tool or the Merge Records tool. When you extracted the records, if you selected to delete them from the source file, you were prompted to save a file of the original records minus the extracted records and a file of the extracted records. Compile these two files into MARC and use the MARC Join tool. If you selected not to delete the extracted records from the source file, then you should use the Merge Records tool to merge the source file with the file of extracted records. I haven't really used that tool so you should search the list archives for tips on how to use it if it's not self-explanatory. Hope that helps!

Shelley
