I am helping a public library switch to koha, and have a few problems that have come up while importing the old data.<br><br>First, on the "MARC Check" page, It says <br><br><table><tbody><tr><td><font size="1"><b>
item fields</b></font></td>
<td><font size="1">ALL items fields MUST :<br></font>
<li><font size="1">be mapped to the same tag,</font></li>
<li><font size="1">and they must all be in the 10 (items) tab</font></li></td><td><br>
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td><font size="1"><b>Item tag</b></font></td>
<td><font size="1">There is more than 1 MARC tag related to items tab (10) : 852,952,</font></td></tr></tbody></table><br clear="all">This is correct, the previous ILS's MARC setup puts some item data on each tag. Is it safe to leave it like this?
<br><br><br>Secondly, some of the old items had their dewey number in the "Material Type" section. This results in koha putting each of these items into its own type, eg. "910", or "E567". Is there any way to tell koha these items belong to a particular type?
<br><br><br>Thirdly, is there any way to have koha automatically create items from a MARC import? The records import, but I have to manually create an item for each record before I can use it. This is impractical, since there are thousands of records.
