To clarify, do you need actual _item records_ for all previous issues, or just a note of the holdings? We've had one case where we migrated holdings data into a MARC 866, and then did a screen change to display those earlier holdings in the OPAC. (Issues received in Koha show in the subscriptions tab.) If you need actual item records, shouldn't they have migrated in with the rest of your data? Jane Wagner Library Systems Analyst PTFS Inc.

We're in the process of migrating to Koha. Due to the structure of our serials records we're not able to properly export all of our issue and subscriptions information. We're thinking we could simply populate the backlog with big fake subscriptions, but we would need to receive each issue before an item record would be generated. Has anyone come up with a good way to autogenerate items for past subscriptions? Thanks very much.
