[Koha] [EXTERNAL] Manual system to koha

[Bob Ewart]

You will need some computer literate people to help.  I cataloged my 
personal collection of about 6000 books with some help from my sisters.  
It's now over 10,000 books.

In the Administration section you will find a link to Z39.50/SRU 
servers.  The most important one is the Library of Congress. These are 
the ones I use.

	No 	2 	USMARC 	MARC-8 	0 	Bibliographic 	

If the book has an ISBN, you can search on that and get all the 
necessary data filled in.  Otherwise search on Author and/or Title.  Its 
not difficult, just tedious.

Take a look at the Koha Z39.50 Server Directory 
<https://kohasupport.com/z39-50-server-directory/>  to see if there are 
any that may be useful such as the Abilene Christian University (or 5 
others) which may have listings not found elsewhere.

You may have a few books that aren't  listed anywhere.  Save those to 
last after you've seen what the others have shown and create your own 
records.

Good Luck

Bob
