Upon careful review of the previous procedures, and with some additional information from OCLC, it became apparent that 1) we should be using the xrefrpt.txt file for the import to add OCLC control numbers, 2) the import profile will need some adjustments, and 3) for the import to work, the existing Alma records must first be unlinked from the NZ
