Ed,

I believe your answer is in here:

=952  \\$bFiction$hFIC DLA$pT0025982$t1$xFSC at aR@b148 at c20081014@i1 at jHardcover@fFollett$xFUND: District$aSHS

The $x fields contain the detail info that was exported from Follett.  I think the item code you are looking for in this example is "R".  The string that starts $xFSC has fields that are delimited by "@".  The item type is in the @a field.  The script I sent and later posted to the web site contains code to do the conversion, if you use it you need to modify it to convert from your Follett item type codes to your koha item type codes.  Looking at the script I put it into the 952$y field.

Best,

Doug

That is what I am trying to do . The only thing I can find for Follett is it put a 3 character code in the LDR field at position 5, 6 and 7 to represent the type of item.

 

Anyone that migrates from Follett how did you assign your item types?

 

Thanks

Ed

You should create the itemtype codes in Koha to match your data, or edit your data to match your new codes.  The question you are asking is better directed to a FOLLETT group regarding where that system outputs itemtype.

Good Morning All

 

Does anyone know where in MARC is the item type defined? In my exported data from Follett I don’t see anything that looks like the item type codes that are in Koha.

 

Thanks

Ed
