[Koha] serials backlog

[Wagner, Jane]

To clarify, do you need actual _item records_ for all previous 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?

Subject: [Koha] serials backlog

 

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?

 

Thanks very much.
