Migrating from LibraryWorld to Koha - problem mapping item information
Greetings, The Royal Thimphu College is currently in the process of migrating to Koha. We currently use LibraryWorld and are attempting to upload our bibliographic and item information. The bib information comes across fine and the item information is also there, BUT none of the item information is mapping to the Koha item record. If someone else has had this problem and resolved it, I would be pleased to know how you handled this process. Many thanks, amrita Amrita McKinney Professor and Library Adviser Royal Thimphu College Post Box 1122 Ngabiphu Thimphu, Bhutan +975-17320091 amckinney@rtc.edu
Hi, You mean to say biblio is mapped properly and result are coming in koha search. Item information which you have mapped to respective biblios are not coming. Have I understood your problem correctly? On 03-Aug-2015 1:07 PM, "Alice Louise McKinney, Library [Faculty RTC]" < amckinney@rtc.bt> wrote:

The bib information comes across fine and the item information is also there, BUT none of the item information is mapping to the Koha item record. What does that mean exactly? And where do you have the item information? You may want to check http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_%289xx%29#MARC21_Ho... to see where Koha expects it.

Hello, Please add one record manually to koha than export the same record and see the MARC field 952. I hope you will get the Idea how you need to convert your existing data. On Mon, Aug 3, 2015 at 1:04 PM, Alice Louise McKinney, Library [Faculty RTC] <amckinney@rtc.bt> wrote:

Hello Amrita, Koha uses tag 952 for items. Some other systems use 852 and you may need to map from an 852 field to 952 before importing the data. The arrangement of the Koha sub-fields can be found in the staff client at Home/Administration/Koha to MARC mapping: access Items from the drop down menu. I hope this clarifies. Bob Birchall Calyx
