Fill a koha installation with very partial data...
I've collected some data from the books stored in a library of my organization. This data was managed with a simple db (microsoft works), and contain rather minimal data, like: 1) title 2) author 3) publisher 3) the series title (first volume, second volume, ...) 4) a field that can be considered like an item type 5) the ``location'', that i think i can consider like a branches With this simple list of books i can fill the koha database and start using it quickly?!

Ok, i've digged a bit in koha data schema (1.2.X), say me if i'm right. AFAIK, i've to fill: itemtypes table with all type of items in field 5) branches tables with all location/branches in field 6) biblio table: fill author, title, seriestitle respectively with field 2, 1, 4. biblioitems table with correct reference of biblio table ;), and fill the field publishercode with the field 3), and itemtype with field 5, or at least a reference to code choosen for field 5. items table with correct reference to biblio and biblioitems tables, and homebranch and holdingbranch filled with field 6 as previous. This could work?! Thanks. -- dott.
