I do not know Adlib.  If it has exported a MARC file with embedded 
items, you can take that to a tool such as MarcEdit (not free, but free 
to download) and re-arrange the items tag to the fields required by 
Koha.  You may find that the items are in tag 852 in which case you'll 
need to move them to tag 952 for Koha.  The sub-field codes for Koha are 
found from the Administration menu: Koha to MARC Mapping; drop down the 
Items list.

If Adlib has not exported MARC you'll need to get your data into csv 
format and build MARC from that.  MarcEdit can also help there or there 
are other tools.

That question is probably best directed to a DSpace mailing list. That's 
a very old version of DSpace, by the way.

I hope this helps.
