Hello all, I am a Unix admin and Perl programmer by trade, but know very little about library science :) I have a friend who has built a community library in Ethiopia, and I have volunteered to help with the catalog.
So far I've installed Debian Linux and Koha 3.18 and done the basic configs of adding a library, and a "superlibrarian", but now I'm stuck with an XL spreadsheet of ~10K books which I have to import. I've written a script that will throw all my ISBNs against Worldcat's Classify, but that returns MARCXML which, I guess, I would have to translate into MARC21. Is this the best way? Am I barking up the wrong tree? I've found documents that walk you through manually querying with one ISBN and then manually importing into Koha, but I need to automate this as much as possible for bulk queries/imports. Has anyone done this?
