[Koha-devel] MARC Record Import - Not Getting Items

[Richard Forristall]

Thanks Chris,

I feel like I just peeked behind the Wizard's curtain in OZ :--) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032138/) With this information and Bob's help I feel like I can better assist our librarian with her needs.


Thanks,
 
Rick

Hi Rick

Another trick is the marcxml column in the biblioitems table. It is quite easily human readable.

SELECT marcxml FROM biblioitems WHERE biblionumber=some number
