[Koha] Athena to Koha

[Jerwyn Fernandez]

Fiji,

Link below are my reference during the time we migrated our system Athena
to KOHA,

http://library.bridgton.lib.me.us/BPL_mediawiki/index.php/Exporting_Athena_Holdings_Data_and_Importing_it_into_Koha


and

http://nemla.musiclibraryassoc.org/presentations/GoodByeAthenaHelloKoha.pdf

We just recently successfully migrated our Integrated Library System to
KOHA.

Based on our experienced, when we were just starting the most difficult
part is, when we migrated our records to KOHA. By manipulating MARC records
of Athena to KOHA, due to we don't have yet any background about MarcEdit.
But now we can do it with our eyes closed.

Upon studying, researching and asking couple of people, I was lucky that I
was able to met my mentor Eugene Espinoza here in KOHA Community, that he
help me through out our migration.

I encourage you to use MarcEdit version 5.9, specially for those records
that has multiple items.

I am glad that you showed interested in KOHA the best open source there is!

Provided link http://library.southville.edu.ph/ is our product of Athena to
KOHA.

Regards,
