Hi All, Let me first follow the suggestion from the subscription confirmation email when I joined this list and introduce myself. I am a cataloger by training and currently a manager of a library technical services department. I have been interested in Koha for a while and have wanted to play around with it since I first heard about it. My background in the command-line environment is essentially nil (a little bit when I was getting my MLS) but I would like to learn more. I found out about the Koha virtual appliances created by Kyle Hall and was able to get Koha up and running in VirtualBox on my MacBook. My intent is to try to catalog my personal library on Koha and I have a few reasons for doing so. First, I want to have an inventory of my personal collection. Second, I'm just generally curious about Koha and want to learn more about it, and learn a little about ILS administration. Third, where I work, we currently use a very non-standard system, and I want to stay up-to-date and in practice (also, as a manager, I don't really do a lot of cataloging these days) with a system that adheres more closely to cataloging norms. I realize that using Koha for my personal catalog is probably like using a bazooka to swat a fly, but I think it will be very instructive for me nonetheless. So, that's why I'm here. Now, my question is this: I would like to import authority records that I download form the US Library of Congress. It is my understanding that the only way to do this in Koha is using the bulkauthimport.pl script, right? OK, here's the part where I'm embarrassed for being such a noob... How do I do that? I know how to download the MARC record, and I assume I run the script from the command line and not from the Web interface, but I don't know who I need to be logged in as and how to run the script or to point it to the file I want to import. Is this something someone can explain to me? I hope it's not bad form to ask such a basic question.
