You will need to import the authority files as MARC records before you run perl script link_bibs_to_authorities.pl (default - /usr/share/koha/bin/). There are ways to create authority records from new catalogue records as you create them.. I don't think it is possible to derive them from your existing records already in Koha as a batch process. Doing it manually (one record at a time) would be slow and painful if you have a lot of records. On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 8:18 AM, Michał Dudzik <dudzikmichal@wp.pl> wrote:

Dear all, My name is Rivikantha and I work as a computer programmer inUniversity of Peradeniya main library. We are in the process of implementing Koha as our integrated library managementsystem. Currently we have imported datafrom the current library management system to Koha via a marc file and all thebibliographic data seems to be in order. I can search a book and all the dataseems to have imported successfully.
But authority data such as Author Name has not beenimported. I cannot search authorities which results in 0 results. · Does I have to import authority data separately orhas the marc import process has a failure. · If so what is the procedure to import authoritydata from the current system.· Is there a way to generate authority data frombibliographic data. I am currently facing this problem and our data migrationprocess has come to a complete stop. We have to make the system live by april.So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Rivikantha Computer Programmer. _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org
