Hello everyone, I'm building a new environment for a Library that currently has a custom-built library system with a MySQL back-end DB. I've gone through the process outlined at http://www.botskool.com/geeks/how-import-excel-data-koha to export my existing MySQL data to Excel, converting it with MarcEdit, and then staging it in Koha. The process works without errors but I have the following 2 problems I'm wondering if anyone can help me with: - The "TITLE" for all of my records imported it empty ("No Title" show up for everything). Does anyone know what MARC21 field designator I should be mapping my title to? I've tried 130$a, 222$a, and 240$a and none of them seem to be the proper field - I get all of my bibliographic records (without titles) but they all show up as having no holdings/copies available. What do I need to do to get the "No items available" to show that I have copies available? I had done a migration from Athena to Koha preciously and had a similar issue and used the athena2marc.pl module to resolve this "no holdings" issue in that case, but I'm not sure what I need to do to get "holdings" to show up in this case THANKS! Steve

245$a (see <http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd245.html>)

If you have correctly mapped your 'items' to 952$0, 1, 4, 7, a and b, try going through the various possibilities of branch, holding branch, permanent location, etc in Koha Administration. Also, ensure that you have completely [re-]indexed Zebra. Best - Paul
