[Koha-devel] Bulk Marc Import via the Web

[Cindy Murdock Ames]

Hello,

You also might be interested to know that Kyle Hall is developing a 
templating system for MARC imports for CCFLS, that can be used in 
conjunction with the existing staged marc record management tool to map 
the fields in a marc file to where you want them to be in Koha.  He's (I 
would guess) about halfway done writing it, and will be contributing it 
soon.  I figure we'd better let the community know about it, because I'm 
sure others will find it useful!

Cheers!

Cindy
