Elaine, I don't believe the order of import matters too much, since the bulkmarcimport script won't automatically do the linking for you. They will need to be loaded separately, since you have to use a different switch to do biblios than authorities. (-a for authorities, -b or nothing for biblios) You'll need to run link_bibs_to_authorities.pl after both have been imported to get them connected. This will take a pretty long time, depending on the number of biblios you have. Hope this helps! -Ian On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 10:22 AM, Elaine Bradtke <eb@efdss.org> wrote:

In Koha 3.2 there appear to be two routines in migration tools for importing. . . One is called bulkauthimport.pl and the other is bulkmarcimport.pl which has an -authorities flag. What's the difference? What should I use? We've created our authorities using MARC21 and what we're working with are MARCXML files. Also, is there a good reason this doesn't display in the gui interface? Thanks again, Elaine On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 3:28 PM, Ian Walls <ian.walls@bywatersolutions.com> wrote:

Afternoon All As the joining email suggested, I am sending to the list to introduce ourselves here in Glasgow, what we do, and where we might hopefully be going with Koha. We are a small special library attached to the National Piping Centre, which teaches people to play the bagpipes, and in conjunction with the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama awards a BA in Scottish Traditional Music, a postgraduate diploma in performance on the bagpipes, as well as various certificated qualifications validated by the Scottish Qualifications Authority. We also teach people who want to learn out of interest. The Library has grown like topsy over the past few years, and I have been appointed to bring some order and develop it, and we plan to use Koha as our system, because it will suit our size, it is shareware and it also has an active commercial and non-commercial development community. I will doubtless appear on the list in the future, and if you want to know more about us, follow the link below to our website, as well as to our annual weeklong festival Piping Live!
