Quoting Derek Dresser <Derek.Dresser@gouldacademy.org>: Dear Derek,

Thanks for sending this info to the list. I'm in the same place you were. Is this bulkmarkimport.pl run from the command line or via the Web?

David, I was unsuccessful trying to import our USMARC records (approx 8000) through the web interface. Maybe someone can comment on whether that is supposed to work like that or not. I used the bulkimport.pl script from the command line. There were a couple of hoops I had to jump through to make it work. Here goes.... When I first tried to run it on the command line, it complained that the modules it was looking for were not found in @INC. To fix that, I added the following line to the top of the script. use lib '/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/'; you'll need to use whatever directory the C4 directory was installed in. Try locate /C4/ to find the right directory. after that, I simply ran it like ./bulkmarcimport MICROLIF.001 MICROLIF.001 is the name of the stuff that I exported from Winnebago in USMARC format. It took close to a half hour to import all 8000 records. HTH, Derek

Hi, With a little more digging around, I found the bulkmarkimport.pl script.

...

That worked fine. I imported ~8000 books. Very cool. I was previously trying to do it through the acquisitions part on koha.

Thanks again, Derek
