Hi
It doesn't look like it is a part of MARC. And since it is not a
> part of MARC, I can't really just import a MARC file, can I?
Yes you can import data in marc format includes Item data by using the 952
field at the end of each bib record .
so if you have 3 Items in your first record
your record should end with something like this :
952 \\$aMain $bBrunch $p1001 $t C-1 $o020 ABC.D
952 \\$aMain $bBrunch $p1002 $t C-2 $o020 ABC.D
952 \\$aMain $bBrunch $p1003 $t C-3 $o020 ABC.D
that's it ,
and as what guys told you , you can use marcedit to make it easy mapping
your fields to marc and local koha fields (like item field )
the 952 sub-fields are :
0 - Withdrawn status
2 - Source of classification or shelving scheme
3 - Materials specified (bound volume or other part)
4 - Damaged status
5 - Use restrictions
7 - Not for loan
8 - Collection code
a - Permanent location
b - Current location
c - Shelving location
d - Date acquired ...
e - Source of acquisition
f - Coded location qualifier
g - Cost, normal purchase price
h - Serial Enumeration / chronology
i - Inventory number
j - Shelving control number
o - Full call number
p - Barcode ...
t - Copy number
u - Uniform Resource Identifier
v - Cost, replacement price
w - Price effective from
x - Non-public note
y - Koha item type
z - Public note
Best Regards
