Esteemed Colleagues, End-of-year festivities have passed, and now in the Northern Hemisphere we're facing the long, hard slog until Spring.* Days are getting longer, but it's hard to tell. I can't give you a week in the tropics, but I can give you another Adventure of Fred and the Avenging

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: Source of Acquisition

Hi Charles, You probably know this already, possibly because I posted something similar a few weeks ago, but MarcEdit has a Delimited Text Translator that makes converting from a spreadsheet to MARC absurdly easy. You can see a very short example in my "MarcEdit in three minutes" presentation

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Export / import fields to MARC records

I forgot something in my previous post: Earlier this year I did a three-minute presentation on MarcEdit at the Medical Library Association's annual conference. I couldn't cover much in three minutes, but it does have a picture of my cat and several of my kitchen wall. Why? You'll have to take

Re: [Koha] [EXTERNAL] Export / import fields to MARC records

Hi Scott, [cue dramatic music] This sounds like a job for... [trumpets] MarcEdit! Seriously, this is one of the things MarcEdit was made for. You can export in .mrc format, convert it to text with MarcBreaker, then use one of the tools to modify the fields. Then compile the records back to

Esteemed Colleagues, My library has a collection of about 5000 online books that are in Koha with bib records and no items. The publisher periodically archives titles so they're no longer available, and I have a list of them that I'd like to remove from Koha. The problem is that my list

As far as Koha administration is concerned, what are the differences between Debian and Ubuntu? I know Ubuntu is said to be the easy version of Debian, but how does that translate into Koha? Fred King Medical Librarian, MedStar Washington Hospital Center fred.k...@medstar.net 202-877-6670 ORCID
