Planning setup of administrative fields
in Koha
In the second part of the plan, we plan how to setup values in Koha's administrative
fields. We need to ensure that libraries, item types, collection codes, and shelving
locations in the various MARC records in the source files are setup in Koha prior to
importing the file. We prepare a plan as follows:
