[Koha] CDS/ISIS records to MARC-21 for Koha

[Vimal Kumar]

Dear Friends,

I just prepared a documentation for the migration of bibliographic records
in CDS/ISIS to MARC-21 using MarcEdit software.
Many libraries are still using CDS/ISIS  for record management and would
like to convert their records to open source ILS like Koha.
This document focuses on the conversion of CDS/ISIS data to MARC-21 for
Koha.
Migration from CDS/ISIS to MARC was not easy before. Certain useful scripts
are now available for data migration between CDS/ISIS and Koha.
Such processes are highly technical and not affordable for the library
professionals who are not tech savvy.
I hope that, this documentation will be helpful to convert your records from
CDS/ISIS to Koha (ver. 3) open source ILS.

I extent my thanks to Mr. Sandeep Bhavsar, Librarian, Dr.V.N.Bedekar
Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai, who inspired me to write this
documentation.
I also extent my thanks to Mr. Amit Gupta, OSS Labs for editing this
document.

I expect your valuable feed back to enhance the usability of this document.

You can access the document from the following link,
