Merging Bibliographic Records in Bulk [Koha version 22.05.05.000]
Dear Team, I successfully uploaded item records from Millennium into Koha. I now need to merge these item records in bulk. I am aware that I can merge by selecting records after a search but then I need to do this for quite a number of records so such a route is not practical. My question is: how can I possibly merge similar bib records with item numbers such that I'll only have one bib record and whatever number of items it may be associated with? Any quick help would be greatly appreciated.

Amos Have you tried using report - https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Duplicate_ISBNs has a merge link to help you merge them. Regards *----* *EM Njoroge* On Mon, Oct 24, 2022 at 12:53 PM Antony Kujenga <akujenga@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks mate! I'll give that a try. So far we reimported a few bib records for a branch library and all went smoothly. We prepared the records using MARCEdit using a template we've been developing to ensure Koha compatibility. It appears that the only challenge now are the Call Numbers for the items. Moving them to 952$o is now the next battle and as usual any quick help would be greatly appreciated. Regards AK On Mon, Oct 24, 2022, 4:46 PM Evan Mungai Njoroge <evan.njoroge@gmail.com> wrote:
