Hi David,

If working in MARC21, you should have one 952 tag per copy. The mandatory subfields for 952 are $a (home library), $b (holding library), $p (barcode) and $y (itemtype).

More info in the manual: https://koha-community.org/manual/22.05/en/html/cataloging.html#location-and-item-information-952

A (very minimal) record with multiple copies would look like

100  _a Conrad, Joseph.
245  _a 'Twixt Land and Sea /
     _c Joseph Conrad
942  _2z
     _cBK
952  _aCPL
     _bCPL
     _p000055
     _yEBOOK
952  _aCPL
     _bCPL
     _p1488
     _yEBOOK

I hope this helps,

Caroline

What is the best-practice way for preparing MARC data for Koha with respect to 
multiple copies of a title? One video I watched said to copy the 952 fields 
into 953, 954, etc. for each copy. Another video looked like it was just 
repeating 952p for each copy (barcode field). What does Koha actually expect 
for multiple copies?

Thanks, David
