I made some changes to my script for converting a Sagebrush Athena MARC export to a format acceptable to Koha. I uploaded it to contribs.koha.org. It's now called athenamarc2koha.pl http://contribs.koha.org/extension_view.php?eid=15 It's just an itty-bitty script, but I'm sure some will find it useful. Thanks to Joe Atzberger and others for guidance and suggestions. -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

For now, here's my script. Please note, the
script optionally sets the current and permanent
branch for the books (Koha 952$a and 952$b). If you don't want the branch set then don't use this option. If you use this option, then the branch_code should correspond to branches.branchcode in the Koha DB. Is setting the branch a bad idea?
Setting the branch is a good idea - in fact, no Koha item record should leave them unset.
Thanks for sending this script. Would you consider uploading it to contribs.koha.org?
