Dear Ruth
What I am doing is using Microsoft Excel to Convert the database into MARC21
and then converting them to MRC format.
But when I have multiple copies, I am keeping the biblio records also; how
can I remove the biblio and keep the 952 records
Been there, done it -- and it's painful. But the good news is that there's
a reliable and straightforward workaround. Once they are in Koha, find all
the barcodes of the items; select one biblio and "attach" all the items by
barcode; finally delete the "empty" biblios.
especially in MS Office Excel.
We couldn't -- and we spent an inordinate amount of time trying with
"Office 97" (the last M$ product we ever bought a license for.) I did write
a macro for OpenOffice v2, but it was in fact more time-consuming than the
method above. It basically added many more, multiple columns for additional
952 fields, but beyond 128 columns things started to go wrong on a 32-bit
box. This *might* be resolved with the latest AMD64 version of LibreOffice.
If you have a fairly recent version of Windows[1], try MarcEdit and join
the mailing list at marcedi...@metis3.gmu.edu. The Professor who develops
the software (Terry Reece) is quite brilliant and extremely helpful.

[1] we did try a few years ago to install MarcEdit with Wine on a Ubuntu
10.04 box; maybe it worked, but it was so slow that we got nowhere with it.
