Hi all, I am a (British) school librarian based in an International School in Prague, the Czech Republic, and I am looking into a move to Koha over the next year or so. Currently I use an ILS from Micro Librarian Systems <http://www.microlib.co.uk/> . It appears to be the standard in British schools. I can export data to: Comma separated values Tab separated values and XML data An example of the first of the above is the following: Barcode,Class,Author,Title,Media,URL"04431","599.4","Cullis, Megan","Bats","Hardback","" Which, you can see, lacks some basic information including ISBN, tags/keywords etc. etc. My present system also uses five digit bar codes. I don't know how this would play on the Koha system. I have looked a little into Koha and can understand that .mrk is the format used natively by Koha. I will be looking into the possibility of persuading my provider to export more data and assume that until this is the case, I would struggle to import meaningfully into Koha. If anybody knows any different or has experienced any such problem before, I would be grateful for any help. I have some experience with Python and would possibly be able to write some basic code to handle reformatting if I were able to get a fuller export, but any tips from those who have been in similar positions would be very handy. Meanwhile, I hope I may one day become a regular to these pages and would like to thank the community in advance for any replies and any help in transferring to Koha and open source solutions. Cheers, Rob
