I use MarcEdit as my Z39.50 search engine as well as editor. My questions relate to: creating the holdings field before MARC data is loaded into KOHA 2.2.9 on Windows. I'm not savvy enough to know how to run the batch load script for loading records batch-by-batch into KOHA. Can you give some help and instructions? Perhaps because of familiarity, it seems easier to edit both MARC records and holdings in MarcEdit or Marc Magician rather than KOHA. For those unfamiliar with MySQL and Perl, is there some good way to get up-to-speed on how to "run scripts" that are mentioned on this list?

There is a freeware Windows MARC editor called MarcEdit (http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php) that has a function to convert a delimited text file to MARC format. You could save your spreadsheet as tab-delimited text or CSV, then use MarcEdit to create a file that you can import into Koha.
