<div>Sounds like the MARCEdit changes to field haven't aligned with Koha fields correctly. When we changed from Alice to Koha, many fields needed to be re-mapped in MARC prior to import because Alice uses a completely different MARC tag structure for various areas. It is a mix of standard and non-standard.</div>

Hi there,<br>
<br>
We are looking to moving from Alice 5.0 to Koha. To that end, I have been playing around with getting our data exported from Alice and imported into Koha.<br>
<br>
The guts of the problem are this:<br>
- After exporting a MARC variant file from Alice, and importing it into Alice, the MAIN ENTRY--PERSONAL NAME field is populated with what appears to be todays date, with frey 50 after it, e.g. Personal name 20110321 frey50 - instead of Personal name Koha_author as it was entered in Alice.<br>
- I used MARCedit to have a look at my export files, and this is what I am getting:<br>
<br>
=LDR 00354nam 22001451a 4500<br>
=020 \\$c0.00<br>
=040 \\$aRoyal College of Physicians of Ireland<br>
=082 \\$bKOH<br>
=100 \\$aKoha_Author<br>
=245 \\$aKoha_Title$h[Text]<br>
=250 \\$aKoha_Edition<br>
=260 \\$bKoha_Publisher$cKoha_Year<br>
=300 \\$aKoha_Physical Description<br>
=500 \\$aKoha_Notes<br>
=600 \\$aKoha_Subject<br>
<br>
But this is what I am getting back once the import has completed and the index re-indexed, which is all correct except for the MAIN ENTRY LINE<br>

I have tried with all the export formats available to me, namely, 02USMARC, 04USMARC with Copy information and 50 USMARC (Containing TLC Compulsory tags) from Alice.<br>
I have also imported them as both UNIMARC or MARC21 - but to no avail.<br>
<br>
Would anyone have any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
<br>
