<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi, Mike,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have you tried checking out Stephen Hedges'
excellent resource on migration to Koha at</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>URL </FONT><A
href="http://www.skemotah.com/Migrating_to_Koha.html"><FONT face=Arial
size=2>http://www.skemotah.com/Migrating_to_Koha.html</FONT></A><FONT face=Arial
size=2> ? </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perhaps the answer has been given
there?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The info I have on Follett (from Cibbarelli's
<EM>Directory of Library Automation Software, Systems, and </EM>Services,
2000-2001 ed.) indicates that Alliance Plus, Catalog Plus and Circulation
Plus all afford full-MARC export. Have you tried/Can you try exporting
full-MARC records first? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Wasn't the question on getting the Dewey
information into the right field for display answered recently? Maybe you could
check the archives searching messages with the subject "Koha questions on MARC
setup" where Harvey Lee, Stephen Hedges and Paul Poulain fielded some issues.
Perhaps your solution will lie therein, Mike.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Let us all know how this works out, as many
libraries do use Follett products and this could have significant impact for
Koha.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
