Importing Marc files
Hi I am looking at some tutorials on how to export current data from a library database we have and then use markedit to convert into a format for Koha. I am following this guide: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.2/en/marceditexcel.html I initially export the data as a csv and then open with excel and same as a tab separated .txt file. I do marcedit delimited text transfer. Then marcmaker. then I try to upload and get the output. MARC staging results : 0 records in file 0 records not staged because of MARC error 0 records staged Did not check for matches with existing records in catalog 0 item records found and staged I ran marc validator and got results like this: Record #: 1 001 (if defined): 245 (if defined): Errors: One 245 field must be present in a MARC21 record. Record #: 2 001 (if defined): 245 (if defined): Errors: One 245 field must be present in a MARC21 record. I was wondering if there is a template I can use to match my fields? Thanks

If the database is from known library system software there may be people who can offer you advice specific to that system. What are you exporting from? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
