| 14:08 | SelfishMan | What is the preferred marc record format for multiple copies of the same book when bulk importing? |
| 14:13 | kf | multiple records = multiple items? i did it with repeated 952, i think when using bulkmarcimport you will get duplicates otherwise |
| 14:14 | SelfishMan | I tried repeated 952s but it didn't seem to work |
| 14:14 | Hmm... | |
| 14:16 | kf | imported no items at all? |
| 14:17 | SelfishMan | It imported the first item |
| 14:17 | and only the first itme | |
| 14:18 | kf | hm |
| 14:19 | mom | |
| 14:20 | searching for an example | |
| 14:21 | gmcharlt | SelfishMan: it should be repeated 952s |
| 14:21 | can you pastebin an example record? | |
| 14:25 | SelfishMan | I'll try to pastebin one when I regain access to the server. We're already having power outages from the wind this morning |
| 14:26 | kf | =952 \\$p99934085$aZF$g0$oQV1Z:115$bZF$cZeF$yZS$xnv |

| 14:26 | this one worked in my case, but fields are a bit cryptic | |
| 14:26 | SelfishMan | OK, I just need to say that MARC records are nasty little buggers |
| 14:27 | Thanks for the info. I'm learning things about MARC records that I never wanted to know! | |
| 14:27 | kf | me too :) |
| 14:28 | gmcharlt | SelfishMan: would you mind if I added your statement about MARC records to the quotes database used by bugs.koha.org? :) |
| 14:28 | SelfishMan | What scares me is the task ahead of normalizing the old marc records. People can't spell and we have over 150 variations of "Main Library" that are going to have to be dealt with. Easy enough with a perl script but still annoying. |
| 14:28 | gmcharlt: Go for it | |
| 14:29 | My experience with them is that they are the wrong answer to a bad question but then again libraries tend to be behind the times | |
| 14:30 | gmcharlt | SelfishMan: thanks! |
