Hi, all! In our earliest exchange, on 6 Jul 2020 at 14:09, I wrote among other things:

I understand now. I do have a follow-up question: Is it possible in Koha to change a framework of a group records en masse? For example, if I have a group of 747 maps (949 $c = "MAP") but their framework is BKS, can I change the framework to MAP through Koha in one fell swoop (and if so, how so); or must I painstakingly change them one at a time? I have tried exporting them into MarcEdit and importing them anew into Koha while selecting "Import this batch into the catalog" with "Add new bibliographic records into this framework:" (select from the dropdown menu), but the framework for each record remains as it was before the exporting and importing. Many thanks. -- 気を付けて。 /ki wo tukete/ = Take care. -- Charles.
