Also, this guide: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:documentation:marc21holdings_holdings_da... will help - as will the updated version of this that I added to the new manual :) Nicole On Thu, Dec 10, 2009 at 4:54 PM, Olugbenga Adara <gbengaadara@yahoo.com> wrote:
Hello,
This may help someone in future - one thing i find helpful when setting up marc records for import is to first enter a complete record in the koha interface, including items.
Then search and make sure all displays about this record is ok. Then i export out this record as marc, break it using marcedit's marc breaker and then see what fields go to each marc tag and use this to prepare my import data

Good morning,
Thanks to Bernardo, Ian and Lenora for their help
bulkmarcimport problem. One of the tips I received alerted me to the fact that I did not have a 952 $a AND $b in my MARC records. I only had the $b (permanent location), populated with my
“Cary”. I have been confused by this $a and $b
still am – more on this below). I edited my MARC to include $a, then tried importing the records again, and this time the records were loaded (thanks everyone!) although items were not. For each of my 23 MARC records, I received a variation of this error:
“.Item not added (bib 10, item tag #1, barcode 100034): invalid homebranch”
So, I take this to mean that not only do I need a $a, but it needs to be populated before I import the record if I also want to add the item. Is this correct? Can my $a and $b be the same code? I am a single location, no branches or anything, which is why I had thought that only one or the other was needed, but not both.
If there is someplace in the sys preferences where I specify the $a, I do not know where this is. I see that I have to put in
yesterday with my library code thing all along (and the library
code, which I did, and then this is identical to the code that I put into my $b. Do I just add $a using MARCedit and add a code to all records there? I had left $a blank when I edited it before the successful import. I hope I am being clear.
Yes ... you'll have to put in your library code into $a subfield of all your records
Something like this:
=952 \\$p100025$oXA .M59$d20050608$bCARY$aCARY
But ... even if you get all your records imported, I guess you'll be hitting another wall soon, when you try to set up 'issuing rules', because you 952 field does not have a $y subfield where the 'itemtype' should go (obviously, the itemtype code to add into $y must be already defined in Koha)
your record should look something like this:
=952 \\$p100025$oXA .M59$d20050608$bCARY$aCARY$yBK
Hope this help a little and save you a little time!
Best regards!
