Hi Danica, I'm not a librarian. I had your problem 2 or 3 years ago. The main issue is to map the CDS/ISIS content to MARC records, that is not a programmers problem, it's a librarians problem. You must make the record mapping "in paper" first, then you can make a program to "translate" your CDS/ISIS records to MARC. We made the program in perl, the native Koha native programming language. As I understand the meaning of CDS/ISIS records is probably in CEPAL format and there is not a 1 to 1 mapping between CPAL and MARC. Regards, -- Ing. Ernesto Silva.

Hello, has had anybody an experience with conversion from CDS/ISIS database to Koha? We have following problem: import from iso2709 from WinISIS doesn't made correct records. Number of imported records is correct but differents fields are not recognized correctly. I.e. first numbers of iso record: 008620000000002650004500003000500... etc are considered as field. It is possible that Koha does not recognize ^ indicator of subfield when CDS/ISIS database is made on Windows? Our Koha runs on Linux. Please help! Please would you kindly send your ideas to: zendulkova@cvtisr.sk <mailto:zendulkova@cvtisr.sk> Regards
