[Koha] Follett Migration

[Roche III, Edward]

MARCEdit is a good tools for working with biblio and copy information to get
it ready importing to Koha. Within Koha, there place to import patrons from
a delimited file, on that page it gives you the field names. There is one
biblio filed you need to move in order to import the data but I forget which
one. Follett puts it in one field, which from what I have heard is not a
standard field for the info but Koha uses that standard hence the reason you
have to move it. You would use the MarcEdit application I mentioned to make
these changes. It will take a little bit get use to format of the data if
you are not a liberian who has Marc experience. Overall things sent smooth
for me. I played with it for about 3 to 4 months before really getting
serious with it.

The group is really good at giving advice and help when needed, so use it
when you can.

Thanks!

I am trying to help a library with a Follett ILS migrate to Koha.  Can 
anyone steer me to info, queries or scripts to help migrate?
MARC?
Patrons?
Transactions?
