Hello, I'm still having some trouble getting our data migrated from an old Winnebago system to koha 2.0.0pre2. I am using a MICROLIF (USMARC) file and attempting to use the bulkmarcimport.pl script like so. /usr/local/koha/scripts/misc/bulkmarcimport.pl -file MICROLIF.001 it appears to import fine. Here is a piece of the script output as it is importing the data ==>LDR 01088cam 2200265 i 4500 001 79001533 //r86 008 790514s1979 nyu b 00110 eng 020 _a0835211533 : _c$14.95 043 _ae-uk--- _an-us--- 050 0 _aPR830.F3 _bT9 082 _a016.823/0876 100 10 _aTymn, Marshall B., _d1937- 245 10 _aFantasy literature : _ba core collection and reference guide / _cMarshall B.

I haven't yet been able to map things correctly though. I have a few questions. When installing, I am selecting MARC21 parameters instead of UNIMARC. Is this correct? What's the difference? Is there an already defined option to extract the "item" data from the MARC 852 field (I believe from some responses that I have received that this is a fairly standard location for the "item" data). Any help or additional information would be appreciated. Perhaps there is a way for me to rewrite my MARC data so that that information will be read properly? I'm giving a demo next week to a bunch of school technologists on the basics of installing and configuring Koha as part of an open source seminar we are putting on. I should be able to pull that off using the sample data if necessary, but it would be really nice if I could show them our actual library data. :-) Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions, Derek -- Derek Dresser http://network.gouldacademy.org/ Gould Academy Bethel, ME 04217 (207)824-7700 "Nothing endures but change" --Heraclitus ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/
