Summary

Here is what we learned in this chapter on migrating catalog data from MARC compliant legacy library systems:

Using MARCEdit to manipulate source MARC files
Adding, merging, or swapping holdings subfields
Setting up administrative fields in Koha prior to importing MARC files
Using bulkmarcimport.pl and the GUI import tools

This completes the implementation section of this book. In the next chapter, we will learn how to troubleshoot installation and migration problems.
