Hi all, 

I have managed to get into the FireBird database back end of our existing 
AccessIt library catalog and export all of the data as a CSV file. Now I am 
trying to use MarcEdit to convert the CSV file into Marc records so that it can 
be imported into Koha. 

I have imported the resulting file into Koha, and it looks reasonably good for 
a first effort, except for when I view one of the items imported, Koha tells me 
that there are no physical items for the record. I suspect I have not quite got 
the mapping right between the CSV file fields and Marc file fields. Is there 
any howto on this sort of thing- especially for a non-librarian like me as most 
of the librarian terms go straight over my head! ;-) 

Also, what field should our 'internal' barcodes be mapped to so that we can use 
the same barcode number as what already exists in AccessIt? 

Cheers, 
Ben Doughney
