John, if your file is in the standard iso2709 MARC format, you can use bulkmarcimport.pl found in the intranet/scripts/misc directory of the MARC version (currently 1.9.x) of Koha. Stephen Hedges Nelsonville Public Library
Howdy!
I've developed a couple of programs that I have used to aid me in populating the library database.
The first program takes a raw scan of a book's EAN (ie:9781575212784) and converts it into the ISBN (ie:1575212781).
The second program takes a list of ISBN's and attempts to retrieve the MARC record for each title from the LoC.
I have successfully used these two programs to obtain MARC records on approximately 4000 titles so far. I think it took about 40 minutes to poll the LoC and save all the responses to a file.
The only program I need to find/write/beg/borrow/steal is one that will take all these MARC records and import them into KOHA. Is there anything out there that does this already?
Regards, John
PS: I can make the above mentioned two programs available if there's enough interest.
