Import MARC records into Koha using graphical interface

Prepare MARC file. 

Check item information (tag number 952); branch code, accession number, item type etc. If number of MARC records goes beyond 1000, split into small batches (1000 records per batch). Otherwise, it will take a long time to import records and chance for time out and can't know the progress. Command line method is good for importing bulk records.

A sample MAR record

Bulk marc import using command line

sudo su
export PERL5LIB="/usr/share/koha/lib"
export KOHA_CONF="/etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml"

Move marc file to the folder where bulkmarcimport.pl is located.

e.g. Move a marc file from your home folder to following folder,
