Re: [Koha] MARC Import

Hi Wolfgang It is quite easy to convert data when exporting from CDS/ISIS. You need to write a Field Selection Table saying where you want data moved from and to. Please see the CDS/ISIS for Windows Handbook, section 10.7. However, you won’t easily be able to produce details that are not there in your ISIS database (e.g. indicators and the 008 field).

We are currently looking into importing our ISIS dataset into koha. However, the ISIS database was designed using non-standard conventions fo the MARC21 fields, so we need a „conversion“ first. I found out that Koha supports exporting the data into custom MARC formats, ist this also supported for importing (so e.g. can I create a definition of my format and import then directly into Koha)?

Wolfgang, Andrew Buxton recently wrote about this on the list: "Regarding 3, I don't yet know Koha well enough to say what editing is possible there. But when exporting from Winisis you can use a Field Select Table to move data from one field (or subfield) to another. For example, to move the contents of field 100 to 700 you would have a line: 700 0 (v100/) (The brackets and slash will take care of the fact that v100 is a repeatable field.) Modification during exporting is covered in the CDS/ISIS for Windows Handbook, section 10.7. There is also the very useful "Swiss Knife" tool for Winisis that allows you to do some clever editing of the Winisis database before exporting. " Otherwise I have used the free MarcEdit tool which can take a CDS ISIS ISO format file and convert to flat text. From there you can either use MarcEdit or your favourite programming language to manipulate the MARC tags and use MarcEdit to reconvert back to ISO 2709 for loading into Koha. Not quite what you were asking for, but a number of valid options...

[Fwd: ISBD Format]
by Nadel Catura 16 Sep '09

Oh, i forgot to attach the image file. Anyway, here it is. ---------------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- Subject: ISBD Format From: "Nadel Catura" <caturan(a)canlubang.dlsu.edu.ph> Date: Wed, September 16, 2009 12:36 pm To: Koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In tutorials, we have read that the ISBD format can be customized, (i mean, can be organized in order of preference) by editing the ISBD preferences. However, is this "reordering" capability is only available un Left Aligned format? Our library hopes to make it more like the card catalog. Where the call number is on the upper leftmost side of the card, and the other biblio is horizontally adjacent to the call number. (see attached image) to see what i mean :) Is it possible to edit the ISBD preference to make it more like the card catalog? If so, is there an available code that we can just copy? If not, is there a module in the system that creates a card catalog? Thanks very much in advance! Have a nice day.

I see that there are default values for this field. Is there a way that we can add/rename this set of shelving locations? Thank you very much in advance for the help! Have a nice day .
