Perry,<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Have you tried MarcEdit? It's designed to let you massage MARC data in batches, so you can preprocess your exported records before importing them into Koha. <a href="http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php">http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php</a></div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php"></a>For multiple item records, you can map each 852 to a 952 for Koha to ingest (one 952 per holding). You may need to scrub out those extra leaders and 00X's, and map your subfields differently. See the 3.0 manual for details: <a href="http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/cataloging/item-fields-data-migration">http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/cataloging/item-fields-data-migration</a></div>

<p class="MsoNormal">In Koha 3.0.02, I am trying to import a batch of bib records
exported from a Voyager system. I want to include the holdings, but
Voyager exports the holdings separate from the bib record. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Each bib record is followed by its associated holdings
records. It appears that Koha doesn’t work like that but
looks for the holdings data in (I think) a 942 field in the bib record.
Does anybody know of a way for me to move the data in from the 852 in the
holding record into a 942 in the bib record? I’ve been
tearing my hair out over this and thought that I had come up with a solution
using sed, but can’t figure out how to deal with multiple holdings.
Thanks.</p>
