I think that 1.2.3RC21 is getting pretty close to release ready. If anybody can spare some time to install this release candidate and let me know of any bugs they find, it would sure help get it out the door faster. I'm also uploading a new kohacd image based on 1.2.3RC21. It should be available within the next 20 minutes or so... Steve Tonnesen
Hi Koha Community, Our University is currently using cds/isis and winisis database format, does koha reads this format or it needs to be converted to marc. is there a convertion utility that converts isis format to marc format? Thanks for any help. Nic __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search new jobs daily now http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/

Very good question... Someone from edu.do asked me the same today... He sends me a cd/isis sample file, and, KOHA DOES NOT UNDERSTAND IT. It's not MARC format, it seems. If cd/isis can't export marc (which i don't know), a little tool must be made to convert from cd/isis to marc. It should not be too hard if cd/isis format is public. -- Paul POULAIN koha release manager 1.4

From: http://www.unesco.org/webworld/isis/art1999_unimarc.htm ============================================================================ Many libraries around the world are automating for the first time and a considerable number are using CDS/ISIS as the software to enable this. The key features of the package as far as developing a library catalogue is concerned are user-friendly data entry which employs the features of Windows text editing and allows data to be entered into identifiable fields (identified by tags and field names if required); the database creation function allows UNIMARC fields and subfields to be defined in the structure of the data elements of the records; and there is an export and import feature which allows data in the database to be reformatted to bring it in line with the requirements of the UNIMARC exchange format. ============================================================================ Looks like there's an export feature in there somewhere...
