When I added our e-book collections to Koha, I didn't create item records--just bib records. As long as you have the link to the book in the 856u field, items and barcodes aren't needed.

Chitale Sent: Monday, October 26, 2015 4:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Koha] Help to assign one barcode each to 10000+ records in mrc file Sir, For the first time I purchased e-books from a publisher. They provided me a marc file (.mrc) for all the ebook titles (10000+). I can upload it directly to my Koha after adding and editing certain fields in records and add items with subfields having same description. I can do so using marcedit 5.2 as far as all records have same description to be added in that tag / copying from another field. But my problem is adding barcode (accession number in 952$p) to these records as each record will have different barcode. I tried converting marc file in excel. There is one marc tag per column but some of the columns have multiple subfields. I inserted barcode column, item type column, location column, Now I need to convert this excel to .mrc. The issue is I am not able to map them while converting to mrk file as each tag (above 010) must have subfield. I cannot map columns with multiple subfields eg. subject headings. Help me to assign one barcode each to these 10000+ records. Mrs. Chitralekha M.
