<font size="2">I have been given the task of migrating a SydneyPlus library database into a fresh koha install. Unfortunately this proprietary vendor doesn't make a smooth transitioning tool available so I'm wondering what the best way to go about this would be. I'm not very versed in Mysql and so far my only two clear ideas involve using a script to crawl the web pages of the current database to gather the information or to export the Mysql database table by table. I really don't know if either of those two things are viable and someone mentioned that I might be able to automatically generate the information from other libraries using a Z39.50 client but I'm not sure about that either. The library has eight thousand books. I appreciate any insight you guys can give me on this.<br></font></body></html>
