Thanks for the reply Jared My experience certainly bears out that it can't be done.It's frustrating that you can't export records that don't have items. Is there good reason why it would be set up that way? As more oddball collections like ours adopt Koha there may be more demand for the ability to export them. Or, set up some sort of batch edit for biblios within Koha. I think the first option is probably simpler! At any rate, there were only (!) 74 of them so I did them individually.Elaine
