[Koha] Koha Extra Records

[Chrispin Simasiku Sitali]

Hello, Mr Olugbenga Adara,

Thanks for your solution. It worked liked a charm. I am now able to import
records from the reservoir into Koha through the cataloguing module. Thank
you so much.

I also tried Bob Birchall solution too but did not know how to log into the
Koha instance, create the instance as Z39.50 server and import the records.
I failed and I think its mainly because of my limited knowledge. I will
continue trying. Thanks a million though
