A barcode question
by h lowe 05 Jun '06

05 Jun '06

First of all, thank you for your time, and i apologize if this question has been asked before. I didn't find in the 2005 or 2006 archives, but I may certainly have missed it. But, here is my question: I am helping a smallish library (about 6,000 volumes) migrate to Koha. We already have an online catalog, so to speak, but no barcodes, circulation, or any of that. Basically our plan is to export the records from the old catalog into MARC format and import into Koha using the bulkmarcimport.pl . We would like the Koha to automatically generate barcodes and print them with our own printer. However, in the user guide it says we must have marc support turned off to automatically generate barcodes. Is this still true? We need to use MARC-21. So if we cannot automatically generate barcodes I would like to know, so that we can plan to buy pre-printed ones instead (if we must). Ideally, what we would like to do is have the barcodes print with the call # on the bottom, and be printed in call number order (like a shelf list of barcodes?) I would also like to know if this is possible. Thank you very much in advance, Heidi Lowe

RE: [Koha] importing data to koha

Hello Shaw, We exported data from Alexandria to Koha by using the utility for sending marc records. However, the barcodes could not be attached, so it was an extra step for me to add them in. We also ran a bunch of FileMaker Pro data through Alex to convert to MARC and that worked. Good luck, Paul Scaer, Masterman Library -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .

Hi, Our school district has been using Alexandria library automation software for the last five years. We would like to export our data from Alexandria to Koha and give it a try. Is it possible to export all our library data from Alexandria to Koha? How would we begin? Shaw

Re: How do you import Book copy records?
by Stephen Hedges 02 Jun '06

Alan, you're probably right -- you'll need to modify the import script to add your holdings data. Most ILS software exports the basic MARC bibliographic and the holdings data together, with the holdings data in a 8xx or 9xx MARC tag.

You can use subfield '952b' (homebranch) and '952d' (holdingbranch) to to tell your patrons about an item's physical location. cheers; Yohannes Mulugeta John F.
