Re: [Koha] Export Athena / import Koha

Chris,

I am able it import the MARC data. One key item that it missing for each
book, etc. is the barcode information.

I am not sure how to map in Koha so that the import process sends the data
to the correct place.

 And if for some reason the import goes badly you can rollback the changes.

 Hi,

 Your MARC file has the barcode field as Chris said, see:

 I was able to import the above record in my Koha, see this:
 *https://www.dropbox.com/s/t76q81nt4ct555p/black_beauty.png?dl=0
 https://www.dropbox.com/s/t76q81nt4ct555p/black_beauty.png?dl=0*

 I just changed the barcode (to make it unique for my installation),
 permanent location, current location and koha item type to my
 intallation's
 requirements and it works.

 That means that perhaps you need to double check your 952a, 952b, 952y
 match with what you have set in your Basic Parameters settings of your
 installation.
