Hello Everybody, We have decided to change from Follett (2001v) to KOHA. We exported our MARC records from KOHA but there are some things we don't understand. The records all contain the LC number in the Follett 852 field and there are no 050 or 090 LC fields. If we replace the 852 to 952 fields, as noted in the KOHA documentation, what do we do about the missing 050 fields? Follett seems to grab the call numbers from the 852 field. What will KOHA do? Do we have create 050 fields for each record now? By-the-way, I am helping with this migration and just graduated with my MLS. So I don't know anything about how they used this system before me and the librarian isn't that technical. I am stuck in the middle of this migration process trying to determine why 050s were not used and so I don't know if this is a Follett problem, some configuration issue when they set up Follett initially, or something currently being done when they enter records. Here is a sample of a MARC record: =LDR 04790nam 2200793u 4500 =001 B8908AAD60E711D69FD000C0F0520B92 =005 20020506115427.0 =008 020506n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\eng\d =020 \\$a10749 =100 1\$aCopleston, Frederick =245 00$aHistory of Philosophy =260 00$aGarden City, New York$bImage Books$c1962 =300 \\$a9 v. in 17 =500 \\$aImage book ed. 1962 with special arrangement with Newman Press =505 0\$av.1.

One of the other issues that I can see happening is that for us to export the data into KOHA, the documentation says we need to convert 852 fields to 952s. There only appears to be one 952 field allowed, from what I can see, and so how can KOHA deal with all the 852 fields? It will try to merge them into one? Bomb out completely? Not sure what is going on what that too. Any help anyone can provide would be great. We are spinning our tires on this one trying to figure out how to move forward. Thanks!
