Did you populate the "marc" and "marcxml" fields of the
biblioitems table? I'm guessing not, since if you had the MARC available,
you could have just imported the data from that format directly. If you
can export MARC from your old system, this would be the preferred
approach. <br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I'm converting my organization's library data to Koha version 3, and am having
a problem with indexing the data so that it's searchable.<br>
<br>
I've uploaded publication data into the "biblio",
"biblioitems", and "items" tables, and ran the
rebuild_nozebra.pl script.<br>
<br>
When I then do a search, I get results, but the results have no titles, and no
links to the publication.<br>
<br>
But if I open a record and save it on the "addbiblio" page, that
record will show up properly in the search results with the title and link.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help,<br>
Jason<o:p></o:p></p>
