[Koha] importing mrc records

Wed Feb 11 17:36:47 NZDT 2009

Hello, I seem to be having a little trouble sending this email. Please
confirm that you received this email. I am wondering if something is wrong
with my email server at the office. Thank you!

Hello Nicole, 

Thanks for giving me the information. After a little research, I realized
that my records are in Marc21,(see sample below) and I have installed Koha
using the Unimarc system.

What is the best procedure to fix this issue? I have installed MarcEdit to
help convert the data.

Thank you for your help!

Sincerely, 

Laura

Looks to me like something didn't import right - or that the index isn't
fulling finished re-indexing.  I'll leave answering your import/search
questions to the experts :) but I can point you to the Koha 3.0 manual for
training others to use Koha:
