[Koha] Destiny to Koha Marc Import - How to get barcode information in the right field in Koha?

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Joseph,

a MARC21 installation of Koha expects the item information in field 952
and the subfields as pre-defined in the Koha-to-MARC-Mappings. You could
in theory reconfigure Koha, but it will give you a lot of headache, as
you would also have to adjust all the Zebra indexes. I'd strongly
recommend changing the data to match Koha's item definitions before
importing instead.

952$aBranchcode
952$bBranchcode
952$pBarcode
952$yItemtype code
...

More information about the item fields can be found in the manual.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
