RE: [Koha-devel] Possible to create/import separate records for multiple items with same ISBN?
Hi Stephen! I did make that discovery, but bulkimport errors out with message "Can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC ( . . . etc.)" What did I do wrong? I'm using Fedora Core 1.

Mark, in intranet/scripts/misc you'll find bulkmarcimport.pl, which will probably work better for what you are wanting to do. If you run it without any arguments, you'll see a brief help screen.

I am ready to batch import our MARC21 records (35,000) into KOHA for serious testing of KOHA.
I believe the proper way to batch import MARC records into KOHA is through the breeding farm.
As I read the indicators for import into breeding farm, it appears that items with same ISBN will be deleted/ignored. However, we have already decided to create a MARC record for each item, in our current automation/cataloging system, as this provides certain advantages unavailable when multiple copies of the same item are cataloged together in the same record.
I don't want to go into explaining all the benefits of keeping a single record for each item at this time, but I do feel those benefits
are great enough to justify maintaining the collection that way. Is it
possible to do this in KOHA?
Thanks,
Mark
PS Obviously, I could use any import/export help available, and I will
diligently read any documentation on this operation, should any be pointed out to me.

Ahh. Try adding this line: use lib "usr/local/koha/intranet/modules"; just before the other "use" statements in the script. (IIRC, you need to run the script as root, too.) Stephen Bruffey, Mark said:
