Greetings Koha Community,
I am at my wits end. I have a marc file with 10 000 records on it. I want to have this in my Koha installation for searching only. I am currently cataloguing some books and I want to use this for searching through only, if I find a marching record for a particular book then I import it in my collection. When I finish cataloguing I then delete the collection because I may not need it any more Please how do I go about it.
I am using Koha 3.16.04 on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS and I installed Koha according to http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.x, using package install
Kind Regards
Sitali CS If I understand you correctly, then this may be a solution:
Create a test instance of Koha and import your marc file to it. Configure your Koha test instance as a z39.50 server. Add its details as a z39.50 target in your production instance. Search in your test instance for the records you are seeking. If you find them, do a z39.50 search from your production instance and download them from your test instance. When you are finished, delete the test instance. I hope I understood your question correctly. Best wishes, Bob Birchall Calyx
