issues, or just a note of the holdings? We’ve had one case where we migrated
holdings data into a MARC 866, and then did a screen change to display those
earlier holdings in the OPAC. (Issues received in Koha show in the
subscriptions tab.) If you need actual item records, shouldn’t they have
migrated in with the rest of your data?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Hi.
We're in the process of migrating to Koha. Due to the structure
of our serials records we're not able to properly export all of our
issue and subscriptions information. We're thinking we could simply populate
the backlog with big fake subscriptions, but we would need to receive each
issue before an item record would be generated. Has anyone come up with a good
way to autogenerate items for past subscriptions?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
