Paul, I've done several of those Millennium->Koha migrations for my work here. What I do is get the MARC records, and toss out all the 9xx fields. Then add in Koha 952s based on item data from a tab-delimited extract. You'll need some matchpoint to know which items go with which bibs; typically, OCLC # to 001 in the MARC works, with a few strays that need manual attention later, such as your fast-add items. I've got some code bits in my toolbox that might be of some use to you; it's a bit of a cluttery mess, but take a look at my repo, at https://www.gitorious.org/koha-toolbox/koha-migration-toolbox, and look at migration/Generic/biblio_masher.pl. I used that file late last week to deal with bibs and items from a Millennium system, and it worked *beautifully*. *D Ruth Bavousett* Lead Migration Specialist ByWater Solutions Support and Consulting for Open Source Software Headquarters: Santa Barbara, CA Office: Lawrence, KS Phone/Fax (888)900-8944 http://bywatersolutions.com ruth@bywatersolutions.com On Thu, Apr 5, 2012 at 08:49, Paul Orkiszewski <orkiszewskip@appstate.edu>wrote:
Hi again. I'm trying to export Marc records from a III Millennium ILS and import into Koha. For those who have gone before me - I've read through posts and articles by Ian Wells and Chris Hobbs - can you give me some hints? Particularly, should I try to pre-process marc records files to fit in the Koha marc schema? or tell Koha how to understand the III 9xx fields?
Paul
