Just about all of our cataloging is done through the OCLC CatME software program. I just now exported 15 MARC records from OCLC CatME into a file called mar142003.dat (see attached) and then ran them through a Perl script called marcmanip.pl (see attached) and MARC::Lint. The marcmanip.pl script should simply extract the control number along with data from about 6 of the MARC tags, if those tags are present. # From marcmanip.pl I got absolutely no results, and from MARC::Lint I only got a few minor warnings (see attached). I'm wondering why this was so: I believe that each record has an 001 field, and that its value in each case is the character string "ocm" followed by the OCLC record number. Since we would somehow need to get our MARC records from OCLC CatME into Koha, I'm wondering about several things: 1. Can anyone detect what is wrong with this set of 15 MARC records? The marcmanip.pl script seems to be bypassing the 001 fields for some reason. 2. Koha presently seems to require a number value for the key field biblionumber in the biblio table, and it seems like this should correspond to the 001 field of the MARC record. Has anyone devised a method of taking a single exported OCLC record or a batch of exported OCLC records, changing the OCLC record number-based 001 field to a value acceptable to Koha, and then loading these MARC records into Koha?
