<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Our school district is migrating from TLC to KOHA 3.0. The migration team has a few questions as we start this process. We are using Fedora on the server.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. What information should be set up before importing our records?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. What special considerations do we need to be aware of when importing the records?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. When we look at the MARC records that we have exported the branch (schools for us) includes a letter designation after the school number : i.e.: 416 NF, 416 FIC, 416 REF, 416 PRF all the books are at one school. Do we need to set each set as a separate branch or will KOHA just read the 416 as the branch? We have 200 schools to set up as branches and if we have to divide each school into 5 or 6 branches, the typing and set up can be overwhelming. Schools open in about a week and we need to be up and running. </FONT></DIV>
