[CASL-L] Any way to integrate search with Sora and Destiny?

Just to clarify.

Our Destiny/Sora are synchronized. That is to say, our Destiny is updated
automatically when we get new books in Sora. It happens at the admin level.
The "switch" was flipped on a little more than a year ago for us.

We previously manually uploaded Marc records each time we purchased books.
I still have the manual records in as duplicates. I have to figure out how
to remove them.

I recommend asking your rep about synchronization.
