Hi I'm in the process of evaluating Koha with a view to migrating our old Inmagic/Progress system to it in the new year. I've got a Win version of 2.2.9 up and running, on which I understand the z39.5 client doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone has any experiences they'd be willing to share on migrating to Koha. My first thought is that I'll need to map the fields in my Progress DB to the relevant table/field in MySQL as I don't have the data in a MARC format at present and the MARC export feature on the legacy system no longer works. Or would it be better to wait for v3 on Windows and hope z39 works, export ISBN and title from the current system and use z39 to create new biblio records, then adding the item records (somehow). I've no experience of Linux so don't really want to go down that route and have 50,000 records so want to keep manual intervention to just quality checking if possible. I'm probably looking at waiting for v3 anyway as I'll need to have journal routing as an option. I could pay someone to do the conversion but where's the fun in that!!%-| Any ideas/help appreciated!
