[Koha] Breeding farm to biblio question

[Stephen Hedges]

Gregory, there is a script in Koha called bulkmarcimport.pl (look in
intranet/scripts/misc for this one) that will load an iso2709 file of MARC
records directly into your Koha database, by-passing the breeding farm. 
Run it first without any options to see a help screen.
