Re: [Koha] What to use, UNIMARC or MARC21 ?

Hi

Next on the list is the catalog. L4U exports in MARC format which should be easy enough to import, however, during koha config, I had >to choose between UNIMARC or MARC21.

do you live in the USA and do you use this L4U: http://srbeducationsolutions.com/Library-Management.php ? If yes, 99% your marc export is MARC21, so select MARC21 on Koha setup. Quite often in USA you can do the equivalence marc = MARC21. It is not correct but ask to a librarian to have a complete answer. You can find an intro here: http://www.loc.gov/marc/umb/ If you want to be 100% sure open the export file with this editor, MarcEdit: http://marcedit.reeset.net/ If every record has a 008, you have MARC21 records.
