Hi Nanaji,

To start with the authors, you should have each author in its own cell in 
excel. Then export out in excel in tab delimited, rather than comma. Then map 
the additional author fields to 700$a in MarcEdit. Only the first (main author) 
should be mapped to 100$a.

As per the accession number, what I do is to export out the first copy, use 
MarcEdit to convert the file to Marc and then import into Koha. Then I repeat 
the step for subsequent copies. I have not yet been able to understand how to 
get Marcedit to generate multiple 952 lines for accession numbers in a single 
file.

Some others may be able to shed more light on that!
