Yes ... you'll have to put in your library code into $a subfield of all 
your records

Something like this:

=952 \\$p100025$oXA .M59$d20050608$bCARY$aCARY

But ... even if you get all your records imported, I guess you'll be 
hitting another wall soon, when you try to set up 'issuing rules', 
because you 952 field does not have a $y subfield where the 'itemtype' 
should go (obviously, the itemtype code to add into $y must be already 
defined in Koha)

your record should look something like this:

=952 \\$p100025$oXA .M59$d20050608$bCARY$aCARY$yBK


Hope this help a little and save you a little time!

Best regards!
