<div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">Our school district is migrating from TLC to KOHA 3.0. The migration team has a few questions as we start this process. We are using Fedora on the server.</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2">Our questions:</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2">1. What information should be set up before importing our records?</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2">2. What special considerations do we need to be aware of when importing the records?</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2">3. When we look at the MARC records that we have exported the branch (schools for us) includes a letter designation after the school number : i.e.: 416 NF, 416 FIC, 416 REF, 416 PRF all the books are at one school. Do we need to set each set as a separate branch or will KOHA just read the 416 as the branch? We have 200 schools to set up as branches and if we have to divide each school into 5 or 6 branches, the typing and set up can be overwhelming. Schools open in about a week and we need to be up and running. </font></div>
