Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 226, Issue 4

Hello Friend Veena, My Dr. P. Rajendran working as Dy. Head, Library of Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Trivandrum. Regarding your query related to the migration of data from Libsys to Koha with 100%, I would like to reply as follows, 1. Migration of data from Libsys to Koha is possible depending upon the database used in Libsys and Koha. In Koha I know SQL or MariaDB is used. I don't know about Libsys. 2. Check whether Libsys using SQL or Oracle or any other database system. 3. Check whether Libsys is having MARC21 export feature, If it is available you export to MARC 21 and can be loaded to Koha very easily. 4. So many articles are available on the Internet regarding migrating data from Libsys to Koha. 5. You can find some Koha implementation experts available in the market and discuss with them Regards.

Namaste, Could any one kindly help us in 100% data conversion and migration from Libsys to Koha?

TIFR CAM is using LIBSYS 7 and would like to shift to Koha. Before shifting to Koha, the library committee wants to test using Koha for a few months and then decide. For the last three years we have been trying, but could not get the data converted!

I am very sorry to say this. I have personally requested some professional colleagues who always post lots of stuff about Koha in this forum and have got no response!! So finally, I am posting my request in the forum with a hope to get help.

Thanks in advance and in anticipation of a proactive response.

Best, Veena
