Migration to Koha and Koha field/UNIMARC mapping
Hi, I'm trying to switch our old ILS to Koha but I'm stuck with how I'll import Serials in the system. The information I have in the old database is rather sparse but I have a value I don't know how to map. I have a publication date, which is normally linked to one item notice (and not a serial notice). The problem is there is no mapping in the koha standard (sample?) UNIMARC definition. Moreover, I don't know which koha field to map to? I've found "timestamp" and "dateaccessioned" but do not know which one to choose and if i'm in the right direction. I plan to add a 995$w field to map to the koha field. I have to admit i'm computer scientist only ... and that the person who manage the old ILS is not a librarian, so I'm on my own to handle the issues. Hope you can help! Thanks a lot! Regards, Frédéric

in Koha the Unimarc field for items is 995. In fact the english setup of Unimarc is not the best. I suggest you to read the french setup. For french language the setup of 995 is connect to Recommandation 995. See: http://cfu.enssib.fr/index.php?repondre_question=55 So I suggest you to use the Unimarc France setup You find it in ../installer/data/mysql/fr-FR/marcflavour/ Henri-Damien Laurent <laurenthdl@alinto.com> and I we are tring to write same wiki pages about Unimarc setup for items.

I already used the french setup (data/mysql/fr-FR/marcflavour/unimarc_complet) but I may have missed the sample frameworks. Is the answer in the frameworks? (I only have the default framework and I manually set up frameworks for books and serials (the "only" items we have here). Looking into that direction Thanks! On 07/06/2010 11:54, Zeno Tajoli wrote:

Yes, the answer is in the frameworks. The field 995: 995: Exemplaires '995' '2' Perdu '995', '9', 'itemnumber (koha)', ' '995', 'a', 'origine du document, texte libre', '995', 'b', 'Propriétaire', '995', 'c', 'dépositaire permanent', '995', 'd', 'Etablissement prêteur ou déposant, donnée codée', '995', 'e', 'niveau de localisation', '' '995', 'f', 'Code barre', '' '995', 'g', 'code à barres, préfixe', '995', 'h', 'code à barres, incrémentation', '995', 'i', 'code à barres, suffixe', '995', 'j', 'x', '995', 'k', 'cote', '995', 'l', 'volumaison', ' '995', 'm', 'date de prêt ou de dépôt', ' '995', 'n', 'date de restitution prévue', '995', 'o', 'Statut', '' '995', 'q', 'public visé', '995', 'r', 'type de document et support matériel', '995', 's', 'élément de tri', '995', 'u', 'note' See also the others 9xx fields.

After reading that link: http://cfu.enssib.fr/index.php?repondre_question=55 I came to the conclusion that freedom is quiet large in defining additional fields as those "recommandations" are more targeted for notice exchanges between libraries (what won't happen here, except for book notice import from the BNF server) that agree with a given recommandation. I'll then setup my system as the following: Create framework for serials Add a 995$v for volume information Add a 995$w for serial publication date Link 995$v with items.enumchron (as suggested on koha-fr.org) Link 995$w with items.dateaccesioned. I think this setup could work, but as i'm not a librarian, i don't know if there are pitfalls to that solution. Regards, Frederic On 07/06/2010 13:18, Zeno Tajoli wrote:
