Ed, Take a look at the script. That is largely what it does. My notes at the beginning speak to this, that is parses the FSC line using the @ delimiter, and where you can modify it for your item types. The simple MarcEdit move this to there function won't cut it. Doug

I believe your answer is in here: =952 \\$bFiction$hFIC DLA$pT0025982$t1$xFSC@aR@b148@c20081014@i1@jHardcover@fFollett$xFUND: District$aSHS The $x fields contain the detail info that was exported from Follett. I think the item code you are looking for in this example is "R". The string that starts $xFSC has fields that are delimited by "@". The item type is in the @a field. The script I sent and later posted to the web site contains code to do the conversion, if you use it you need to modify it to convert from your Follett item type codes to your koha item type codes. Looking at the script I put it into the 952$y field. Best, Doug

Anyone that migrates from Follett how did you assign your item types? Thanks Ed Edward J.

The question you are asking is better directed to a FOLLETT group regarding where that system outputs itemtype. --Joe 2009/3/19 Roche III, Edward <edward_roche@solanco.k12.pa.us> Good Morning All Does anyone know where in MARC is the item type defined? In my exported data from Follett I don't see anything that looks like the item type codes that are in Koha. Thanks Ed Edward J.
