Hi Joe, It sounds like your items didn't get migrated over correctly. Koha uses the 952 field to store all of the holdings information, so you may have to change over the data from Winnebago to correspond to where it should go in Koha's 952. I did this earlier this year, but from Follett instead of Winnebago. I don't know if it will help as much with your data, but I found this document: http://openilsvt.pbworks.com/f/Format_and_import_K3_MARC_records.doc If you read through it, you can figure out what they are doing. The document is good, but it lacks a little bit of the explanation of what is going on. I may be wrong, but it may be easier to start all over by getting rid of your bib data from Koha, then taking the export from Winnebago tweaking it and then re-importing it into Koha.

Hello Koha listers,
I have been trying to help a librarian at a small school here in Connecticut transition to KOHA from a really old system called Winnebago. I have managed to export her records in MARC format and to import them into KOHA. However there are 2 problems she needs help with. First I need to know how I can get the search result to show the Dewey Decimal Number for the books in the catalog. I know the data loaded when I transferred the records, at least I confirmed the data was in the file I loaded. Next, when she searches for a book it says the number available is zero regardless of the number of volumes she may have. How do I get KOHA to show the correct number on hand?
Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.
