[Koha] Importing Marc records from Koha 2.2.9 into 3.14.05

[Elaine Bradtke]

It might prove useful to look at the records in MarcEdit first -
http://marcedit.reeset.net/ to look at your download to check that it is
what you expect.  It will also validate the MARC which could help you spot
a problem.  I export and import files all the time into 3.14 and as long as
the MARC is valid it works.  I don't know if saving it in notepad is
causing a problem, but MARC is not plain text. To use your .mrc file in
MarcEdit, you have to 'break' it into human readable text.
The tutorials are helpful - http://marcedit.reeset.net/tutorials
