You defintely must upgrade to version 2.0.0 before you can do anything
with MARC records.  As mjr said earlier (1-19) in reply to your previous
message, the upgrade from version 1.2.2 may not work.  I'm not sure if
anyone has tested it from 2.0.0RC3, so you may have to do a completely
fresh install.

Once you have version 2, there is a script in the misc folder called
bulkmarcimport.pl that will import batches of MARC records from a MARC
communications format file (iso2709).  Make sure you start by mapping the
appropriate MARC tags to the fields you listed above.
