Allow bulk update to material type of citations
When adding citations that are ebooks, it is common that the material type is not correctly populated as 'ebook'. The material type often presents as an empty field or as a 'book'
Statistically our institution is tracking analytics to monitor how many citations are print books vs ebooks. In order to perform this reporting accurately, the material type of these ebook citations needs to be updated.
There are additional situations where material types could be consolidated (For example citations can come through as 'Video','Streaming','Streaming Video') and we would like to consolidate these into a single Video material type.
Currently this must all be performed per citation manually.
There exists a global task that allows users to perform a bulk update to other citation fields such as status.
We would like similar functionality to allow the bulk update of material type to save the time of manually updating per citation.
