Koha does not include (upto version 3.6.4) the provision of MARC 21
authority management from GUI interfaces. For example 1) to import a
MARC formatted authority file (like bibliographic records), 2) to
export authority records from local records through GUI
etc. Presently it provides only a script (bulkauthimport.pl) to
import MARC 21 authority records. Could you please suggest me 1) way
to export of local authority data as marc file; 2) process to setup
a Z 39.50 authority data server (over the port 9999) thorugh Koha?
If this version (3.6.4) cannot do, are these features planned for
3.8 or 3.10 series?
1. I'm not sure. I don't think it would be too difficult to extend
tools/export.pl but I could be wrong. There is bug
http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5706
tracking this feature request, but no library has offered to sponsor it
yet.

Actually, the more relevant enhancement for importing authorities is bug
2060:

Nicole raised the question in 2008! I can't believe librarians are not
screaming the house down to have this feature added. But maybe its not
an issue for most people? Or the libraries that need it are totally
impecunious?
Just wondering really.
