<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are migrating to Koha from another system and so
we already have barcodes on the books from that previous installation. But, the
barcodes have a checkdigit at the end (probably not uncommon). When we export
the current holdings from the old system, it only exports the "item" part of the
barcode, not the location prefix or the checkdigit. I can easily add the prefix
to each record before importing into Koha but the checkdigit is based on some
unknown algorithm. I would like to avoid having to manually modify thousands of
entries or even scan every barcode label and match it with the exported
value.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas? There must be someone who has faced the
same problems (I hope).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance,</FONT></DIV>
