Hi André, It may be worth noting that the data you describe are called "authority records" e.g. definitive names for authors and subject terms. You can import authority MARC records from a prior system using the Tools > Stage MARC records for import page. It may also be worth researching these two settings: - BiblioAddsAuthorities <https://koha-community.org/manual/17.11/html/02_administration.html?#biblioaddsauthorities> - AutoCreateAuthorities <https://koha-community.org/manual/17.11/html/02_administration.html?#autocreateauthorities> which relate to the automatic creation of authority records when terms are used in bibliographic records. If you later import your bibliographic records, they may generate a bunch of authority records in any case depending on how your configure those options. Good luck!

Hi, Follow this link for step by step guide. https://koha-community.org/manual/16.11/html/apls02.html

You need to have data in excel sheet which you will convert into MARC21 format.

Hope this helps! From: hartmann Sent: Tuesday, August 7, 2018 3:43 PM To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [Koha] How to import thesaurus data into a KOHA instance?

Hi,

I am part of a team that tries to get a KOHA instance configured for an existing library. Among other things we want to import a thesaurus of keywords and authors to be used later when we add the actual books to the catalogue.

I do have the keyword/author data in electronically processable form. I am a software developer and I will be able to convert them to any format that KOHA might need. But I dont know what KOHA needs and how to actually import those data into KOHA. So my question basically is how to do that.

* Is there any step-by-step guide how to import thesausus data into KOHA? The standard web interface does not seem to have this capability and right now I have access to KOHA only via the standard web interface / intranet, no access to the computer on which KOHA is actually installed.

* What format will I have to convert these data to for a successful import into KOHA? Is there a specification for this, maybe an XML schema or something similar?

Thanks in advance to the experts, AH :)
