Hi, Karl,
Checking Cibbarelli's Directory of Library Automation Software, Systems, and Services (2001-2002 ed.) quickly, it seems that Librarian's Helper does not offer import or export in MARC format.
As many non-MARC fans of Koha would point out quickly, however, Koha works quite fine without use of MARC records. There is, indeed, a non-MARC setting, as Koha was originally made for a library trust in New Zealand that continues to use it happily and successfully without MARC-on.
I am not sure about migrating your database.
I am dismayed by what I am reading in Cibbarelli's though. The supplier's comments note only that it is designed to produce catalogue cards and various labels, but NOT a true database. Are you sure you actually have a database to import into Koha?
Well, I'm not a librarian or even using that system. They do put info on books into it for patrons to look up. and they do use it to look up stuff. They also do have a backup feature meaning they save the "database" onto disks for backup. and I do have those. Also, ResourceMate, one of the apps we are looking at, does, according to their web site, import the data from Librarians helper into their program. I havent played with Librarians helper enough to know much about it. I'm just getting started on this project. --Karl __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
