[Koha] [ByWater Partners] Data Conversion from Winnebago Spectrum 5.3

[Joel Sasse]

Bruce,

 

I just did a 5.3 bib data extraction a few weeks ago. These steps did the
trick for me:

 

Make sure to use short report option.

 

Bib Data Extraction:

 

Select Materials > Export

 

  Select All Materials from Export menu

 

  All the options should gray-out except for the output file

  Select USMARC/852 Holdings Data

 

  Click Browse to desktop and in the Output file field, enter your desired
name.

I realize we are probably one of the oldest and last hold outs converting
from Spectrum 5.3 to a modern system.  Anyone else convert from Spectrum to
Koha that could give me some tips on extracting the data, our reports and
exports just don't look like good usable data.

 

I have submitted and support ticket to Bywater, just thought I would ask the
community to see if anyone had any tips.

 

Thanks

Bruce
