Importing Catalogue Records
Dear Members, I'm trying to import a few sample records using the 'Stage MARC records for import' feature of KOHA-3.08.03. A sample ,mrk record is given below for your reference: =LDR 00000nam 2200000Ia 45e0^M =008 120810s9999\\\\xx\\\\\\\\\\\\000\0\und\d^M =020 \\$a001^M =082 \\$a541.39$bN37^M =100 \\$aBailey, K.C.^M =245 \\$aGalactose regulation of yeast: From genetics to systms^M =260 \\$c1937$bEdward Arnold$aBANGALORE^M =300 \\$a100P^M =952 \\$p2^M After converting the .mrk file to .mrc file, records are successfully imported. While staging the records for importing, I have ensured that the 'check for embedded item data record' is set to 'yes'. Indexing through Zebra goes through without any issues. However, in the search results, the Holding Details for 'item type', 'current location', 'home library' and 'call number' are all blank. I have looked up the Koha documentation and also the Koha list's archived content, but not been able to find a solution for my problem. Could I request for some guidance from the fellow members? In the Administrative cataloging preferences, NewItemsDefaultLocation is set to JRDTML, the only library that exists as of now. Thanks for your attention. - Francis JRDTML, IISc, Bangalore, India -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
Francis, I think I can help here as I have just been going through this process. I am not a Koha expert and if I have made a mistake I invite anyone to correct me please. Item Type is stored at 952$y, current location is stored at 952$b, Home library is stored at 952$a and call number at 952$o These fields do not appear in your records. You could use a tool such as MarcEdit to add these fields with the appropriate data for your library. Call number is a bit more difficult if it is stored in a variety of sub fields in the original record. I hope this helps. Clint Deckard. franc@library.iisc.ernet.in wrote:

Francis, Nicole Engard made a great video tutorial for this: http://bywatersolutions.com/2012/01/18/using-marcedit-to-add-koha-items/ Marc Am 13.08.2012 07:22, schrieb clint.deckard:
