The 952y is key! And make sure you use the Koha Code and not your descriptor!

Finally, this http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=a12205#AEN12208 shows you the 952 record. I doesn't say what's required - which I'm going to add right now. You need the following if you want it to show in the catalog: 952a, 952b, 952y If you want it to circulate you also need a 952p and probably you want a 952o which is the call number. Thanks Nicole C.

Hello,
I created a sample record like this using marcedit.
=LDR  00000nam  2200000Ia 45e0

=260 Â \\$c1999$bPHI PUBLISHERS
=300 Â \\$a580
=952 Â \\$p0000001
But the koha doesn't import it. Â What is the problem with my record.
For one your 952 tag is missing the permanent and holding branch  information. Usually 952$a and 952$b. What I usually recommend is for  you to enter a record through the cataloging module. Then save this  record from the OPAC as MARC and have a look at the exported record  using marcedit. It gives you a good idea of what tags/fields are  required in your Koha setup.
I hope this helps
