I've just had a cursory look at PrimaSoft's web site (https://www.primasoft.com/librarymanager/marc_search.htm) and it looks like it won't even import MARC (much less export it) -- the company runs a free service to convert MARC files into a format HLM can import. It looks as though you can export bibliographic data in table form (https://www.primasoft.com/librarymanager/export-library-data-to-spreadsheet-... ), though I'm not sure whether/how you can export borrower data. There are ways to convert bibliographic data in table form to MARC (you might want to look at MARCEdit (https://marcedit.reeset.net/translating-excel-data-to-marc) to help massage your data into MARC).

If HLM can export bibliographic records in some type of MARC format, and other data in CSV, I think you should be able to convert your data and import it into Koha. There is a section on data migration in the manual: https://koha-community.org/manual/20.11/en/html/implementation_checklist.htm... Good luck! Caroline On 21-04-19 17 h 23, Maintenance wrote:
I might have already asked this... however
Can KOHA convert a "Handy Library Manager" (HLM) into itself and replace it?
I'd like to move from our current Handy Library Manager to an open source system and Koha was presented.
Please let me know if Koha can be use to move from HLM system.
