Thanks for pointing me to that resource. Slowly I'm building a foundational knowledge of koha. I got things the items to import and figured I would explain what I did in case anyone else has the same problem. Since using bulkmarcimport.pl skips the staging process, it imported the items into the catalog without any problem. I still don't know exactly why the items were not imported, but at least there is a way around it. Thanks again. chuck On Tue, 2010-07-20 at 19:29 -0400, Susan Bennett wrote:

At one point during the import you have choose whether or not to import item records along with bib records. This should help:http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/tools/stage-marc-records-for-import

My problem is that the 952 fields are not imported into the reservoir.

I am migrating our existing database to Koha. From a CSV file, I have converted to a .mrc file using MarcEdit. In the MarcEditor the 952 fields look, I think, they should to import correctly. However, when I import using the "import Marc records" tool, the MARC record in the reservoir shows no 952 fields (while everything else seems to be there). This causes any records imported to the catalog to not have items. Any ideas why this may be happening?

I've tried a number of different changes to the 952 fields, but nothing seems to work.
