Derek, You might also want to take a peek at the wiki we've been using as we import our data into Koha, at http://www.seedwiki.com/page.cfm?doc=SpydusKoha&wikiid=2122 You might find some good examples for your session. Stephen Hedges

Chris,
This helps a lot. Let me just make sure I have
information about a publication, a biblioitem is a type of incarnation of a publication (book on tape, paperback, hardcover, first edition, etc.) and an item is an actual thing that can be checked out
So you can obviously have multiple types, and
it. A biblio is the general that fits one of those types. then one or more instances of each
type. That makes sense. Thanks.
Yep thats it :)
Now, during the import process of a bunch of
bulkmarcimport.pl, should I expect my database to be populated with any items? After doing it, it seems that I get biblios and biblioitems, but no actual items. Just for fun I created a test "item"
biblioitems, and then searched for it. It worked great an I got all the relevant info (bar code, etc). However, it is
USMARC records using that matched one of my biblios and the only item in my whole
database. ;-(
Hmm, ill have to defer to the more MARC savvy people on the list. But yes id expect you to get at least as many items as you got biblioitems on the import.
Paul ... any ideas?

FYI, We are hosting a 3 day Linux/Open Source
seminar here at the school at the
end of July and I'm giving one session on installing and configuring Koha. It is aimed at schools and libraries here in Maine. Should be fun. There's a little more info here if you're interested http://network.gouldacademy.org/
Excellent that sounds great. Im sure we can figure out whats up with the import script before then. So you can do a succesful import.
