Hi Olugbenga I'm not sure if you have had this answered already, but you need to go into your system preferences and setup the itemtypes to match the ones coming accross from your old system. So if you have itemtypes that are BK = Book Set up one the same and the itemtype will display.
i actually installed koha at the Hezekiah Oluwasanmi Library of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria today. They have a collection well in excess of 30,000 items and automating for the first time. the installation went well without errors on rh 9.1
i imported some biblio records from the lpi.mrc marc record kindly made available by someone on this list, but on the opac search result page the book is found, but without item type showing.
i guess this problem may be similar to the post by mike re-v (no item count 2.0.1). please could someone give me a pointer to what may be happening? and how solve it?
Also what is the best method for a library freshly automating to get records into koha (30,000+). given the fact that the internet connection at the library is flaky.
thanks
