That's not really an easy question to give a simple answer, there's a lot involved. However, in a nutshell: * Get the biblio and item data out of the existing system in a usable format. Preferably MARC, but if you can only do CSV, then use that. * Poke at the data (I use Perl scripts for this[0]) until it fits what Koha needs, in MARC format. * Load the data into Koha, find mistakes, repeat. * Do the same for the borrower and circulation data. It's also worth asking here if anyone has expertise in the particular system that you're migrating from. I should really write a wiki page on this.
