[Blacklight-development] where to get catalog records to index

[Bess Sadler]

Since the legal status of our UVA catalog records is somewhat  
questionable, we need to come up with a test set that we can  
distribute for indexing. I propose we use the Library of Congress set  
that the incomparable Casey Bisson purchased and provided to the  
community for precisely this purpose.

They are downloadable here:

I suggest we start running indexing tests with these. And there's  
even one (part29.dat) that's only 19M... perfect for getting started  
with.
