Dear all, Can some developers on the list please help me. We have an existing library system maintained currently as a rudimentary mysql table with a minimum of fields (barcode, authors, title, publisher, year). How best can we import this data into Koha? Does it suffice to write some Perl code to load these values into the biblio, items, biblioitems tables? Or will it break something? Another idea is to just load the relevant fields into the biblio table, without worrying about the items and biblioitems tables. (We are planning to manually look into each record (searching by author or title) and fill in the biblio details with a Z39.50 import, as well as other relevant fields like barcode.) Can some of the experts tell me whether this will work properly, without breaking the way Koha works? We want to have our old data up and running with Koha. Thanks in advance for the help. We are experimenting with Koha in our library, and it is vital that we start on some rudimentary functionality at least. Later when some of us are more familiar with its workings, we can realise its full benefits. But it is taking time, and we need this help urgently. If the above approaches are wrong, can someone please tell me what is the best approach? Thanks in advance, Suresh
