Hello, I have installed Koha on 3.0 and I am ready to import my records (again) and would like some advice on the best practice of mapping my data. I have the title listed under 245$a and the media type under 245$h. Here is a sample of the items we carry in our library. Our library consists of Video Cassettes and audio books. =LDR 00660ngm 2200169 4500 =005 20030703081938.0 =007 vuucuuuuu =008 991123s1989\\\\\\\030 =050 \\$bVC3194$c0 =245 \\$aReading Rainbow: Humphrey The Lost Whale: A True Story$hVC =260 \\$bGPN$c1989 =300 \\$a30$bcol$e1 =520 \\$aBased on the true story of a California Humpback whale that gets lost, the book by Wendy Tokuda and Richard Hall inspires Levar to spend a day at sea whale watching. =521 \\$aPrimary =650 \\$aLIFE SCIENCE, BIOLOGY-MAMMALS =650 \\$aLANGUAGE AND LITERATURE-CHILDREN'S LITERATURE =999 \\$pVC319401$cMain Library$k01$r0.00$a01/01/1980$b12/31/2022$yVC3194 Last time I imported the data, only the description is visible. I ended up deleting the Koha database and so I can start with a fresh database. I would like to use the mapping tool in Koha, but if I need to use MarcEdit to change the tag numbers please let me know. I just want to make sure that I am using the tools correctly. Has anyone had the same experience of importing similar data into Koha and if you have a detailed description of the best practice for this procedure. Thank you in advanced and for your patience with my limited knowledge of the Koha Software.
