Library – omit duplicate Archive series level records

[brutaldigital]

Top-level archive collection descriptions are duplicated in Library catalogue: omit these from the export.

Appear to begin with an asterisk, e.g. *John Hayes archive or (SER) *This is a collection level description

see A275: https://lux-data-dev.collections.yale.edu/view/text/30a7c8a5-c5b7-47e6-8ab7-cd58d0730412

NB these appear also to be classified as 'Illumination', which is incorrect: https://lux-front-sbx.collections.yale.edu/view/text/4ee69619-6f16-4bad-86c0-8fbc42682ab3

These are the 54 Library records that either have a <title> that starts with a *, or have <class>ARCHIVES</class> Most but not all have both:

Is it safe to simply ignore the library records with title starting *? Or is it more complicated?

All of those examples can be removed.
