What koha fields should I map to marc fields to get the format and subtitle to display? I was also wondering if bulkmarcimport.pl was replaced with bulkauthimport.pl. -- Tim McMahon Technical Services West Liberty Public Library http://www.wlpl.org

Subtitle is easy -- map MARC tag 245b (MARC21) to bibliosubtitle.subtitle. Format is tougher. There's no single MARC tag that contains format information. Nor is there any good column in the biblioitems table for storing such information. Probably your best solution is careful selection of your item types. Choose itemtype codes that are meaningful -- like "CD" or "DVD" or "Cass." -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges@skemotah.com
I was mapping to 245b, but the menu for Koha links only lists bibliosubtitle.title. I'm using version 2.2.0. If I have things figured right, I should be putting our formats into item types. Some of our formats are fairly long, so I'll need to convert them to something that will fit into Koha items. I have the text conversion down, but now I'm having problems figuring out how to update the records with a perl script. Thanks Stephen Hedges wrote:
