Is there an overview of migration tools?
Dear community Is anyone aware of a list of migration scripts for different systems? I held a lecture this wednesday about Koha and could not answer this question. I did however find a quite a few libraries having migrated from Voyager to Koha which answered only part of the question (since they were a Voyager library). I’ve also located 20+ scripts for different kinds of systems. But if there is a list I’d still like to know so I can both inform people of it and add the scripts we funded for migrating from Book-IT for others to use.

I've been polishing up a bunch of scripts here: https://gitorious.org/koha-migration-toolbox/koha-migration-toolbox/ over time. It's not really a list so much as a set of tools and scripts to make the process easier. It's pretty much never the case that you have something you can point at a library system and get a new Koha system out, so they require a bit of patience to use. If you want to contribute some scripts for Book-IT, feel free to add them to this repository. It's often the case that one script (especially the more generic ones for scripting changes to MARC records) can work for multiple systems, so having them all in one place reduces wheel-reinventing. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
