[Koha] MARC Import

[Andrew Buxton]

Hi Wolfgang

It is quite easy to convert data when exporting from CDS/ISIS.  You need to write a Field Selection Table saying where you want data moved from and to.  Please see the CDS/ISIS for Windows Handbook, section 10.7.  However, you won’t easily be able to produce details that are not there in your ISIS database (e.g. indicators and the 008 field).

Subject: [Koha] MARC Import

Hi all!
We are currently looking into importing our ISIS dataset into koha. However, the ISIS database was designed using non-standard conventions fo the MARC21 fields, so we need a „conversion“ first.
I found out that Koha supports exporting the data into custom MARC formats, ist this also supported for importing (so e.g. can I create a definition of my format and import then directly into Koha)?

Thanks for any answers,
Wolfgang
