[Koha] A hint for tutorials

[James Weinheimer]

What I have done is to create basic XML from the CDS-ISIS database (you
might be able to do this as a simple XML dump from ISIS) and from there
convert to MARC-XML.
Once you are done with this, you can use MarcEdit to create the ISO file and
finally from this, you can load into Koha.

Another tool is USEMARCON from the British library, which I also used, but
it converts to UKMARC and not MARC21. A bit of tweaking is necessary.
