Re: [Koha] Hello from the Museum's Library In Arizona!
Thanks for the info! Yikes the though of hand typing 4,000 records really scares me! At what point will it support marc? Is there development in this direction? Ed Sharpe archivist for SMECC

Wondering though how we get the information from LC into the database to be accessed by the software!
I'm not actually using Koha yet, but my understanding is:
The records would typically be typed by hand, although you could probably write some Perl scripts to import existing records. If you have MARC records, you could use MARC.pm to do this.
Is this MARC record?
Koha does not currently use the MARC format.

Someone has imported records from Marc in the past into Koha (was one of the first posts to this list I think.) what we don't have is a really easy tool to do it "automagically". cheers Rachel _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 021 389 128 or +64 04 934 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 12487, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand
