[Koha] HOW TO IMPORT MARC RECORDS INTO KOHA ILS

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Russel,

all good tips so far. You can also use MARCEdit to validate your MARC
record, to see of fields like LDR and 008 have the correct length.

I am also afraid that there is something odd about the field mapping
too. For example 020 and 022 ISBN and ISSN, but in your record they
appear to hold quite different information. Similar for the other
fields. Your record doesn't appear to be MARC21 or UNIMARC, nor MAB. You
might want to identify which information is in which fields and to which
standard fields it should be moved to.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
