Dear All, I am the IT teacher at a very small school. For several years we have been running debian-edu/skolelinux on our servers and workstations. So when the librarian (who is a part-time volunteer and doesn't know anything about library systems) told me the ageing Follet system would no longer allow her to add books, I naturally turned to Koha. I have a test instance running, and I can bulkmarcimport.pl the marc records exported from Follet. So here is my question: Although the marc export from Follet had the "include copy info" box checked, and I can see the barcodes in the microlif.001 file, the catalogue on Koha has no items available for any record, and there are no barcodes showing. I am hoping someone with Follet migration experience will know what I have to do. Thanks! -- nigel Hiroshima International School _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org [email protected] http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha Hi Nigel, Follett puts item info in the 852 subfields. Koha expects item info in the 952 subfields. MarcEdit can help you migrate the data (http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php) . MarcEdit has the ability to generate a Windows VB script, I took one and modified it to move our item info when we converted, you can find it here: http://contribs.koha.org/revision_view.php?rid=16 . This is on the liblime site, I'm not sure why we don't have a contribs section on the koha-community site yet. Anyway, have a look at that, I think it will do the trick. Best, Doug _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org [email protected] http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
