[Koha] multiple copy holdings

[Caroline Cyr La Rose]

Hi David,

If working in MARC21, you should have one 952 tag per copy. The 
mandatory subfields for 952 are $a (home library), $b (holding library), 
$p (barcode) and $y (itemtype).

More info in the manual: 
https://koha-community.org/manual/22.05/en/html/cataloging.html#location-and-item-information-952

A (very minimal) record with multiple copies would look like

100  _a Conrad, Joseph.
245  _a 'Twixt Land and Sea /
      _c Joseph Conrad
942  _2z
      _cBK
952  _aCPL
      _bCPL
      _p000055
      _yEBOOK
952  _aCPL
      _bCPL
      _p1488
      _yEBOOK

I hope this helps,

Caroline

> What is the best-practice way for preparing MARC data for Koha with respect to multiple copies of a title? One video I watched said to copy the 952 fields into 953, 954, etc. for each copy. Another video looked like it was just repeating 952p for each copy (barcode field). What does Koha actually expect for multiple copies?
