[Koha] Help needed in importing data from CSV or Excel

[Hal Bright]

The 952y is key! And make sure you use the Koha Code and not your descriptor!

Also you want to make sure you convert the file from MRK to MRC in
MarcEdit when you're done making changes.

Finally, this 
http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=a12205#AEN12208
shows you the 952 record. I doesn't say what's required - which I'm
going to add right now.  You need the following if you want it to show
in the catalog: 952a, 952b, 952y  If you want it to circulate you also
need a 952p and probably you want a 952o which is the call number.

Thanks
