<BR>Yikes the though of hand typing 4,000 records really scares me!
<BR>At what point will it support marc? Is there development in this direction?

<BR>>Wondering though how we get the information from LC into the database to be
<BR>>accessed by the software!
<BR>
<BR>I'm not actually using Koha yet, but my understanding is:
<BR>
<BR>The records would typically be typed by hand, although you could probably
<BR>write some Perl scripts to import existing records. If you have MARC
<BR>records, you could use MARC.pm to do this.
<BR>
<BR>>Is this MARC record?
<BR>
<BR>Koha does not currently use the MARC format.
