Paul is very very busy in this moment... :-( 18:11 chris excellent 18:11 nausicaa i'll probably meet Paul (Poulain) in april at Paris... so maybe this project will be on the way at this time... 18:10 nausicaa oki... 18:10 chris that should be easy to munge into koha 18:10 chris yeah, getting the MARC out is a good start, and if you can get the borrower data out in some sane format (eg tab separated text) 18:10 nausicaa just for testing, playing and professionnal purpose... 18:10 nausicaa i guess i will doing this WITHOUT telling all about it at my chiefs... beacuse they'll be scared... 18:09 nausicaa i guess i should simply extracting MARC database and then trying to put borrowers into LAPD ? i'm thinking about it right now 18:09 chris and as such, not documented 18:08 chris and its usually the hardest precisely because its closed source 18:08 nausicaa :-) 18:08 chris once that is done, getting it into koha is pretty easy 18:08 chris yep, im my experience .. getting data out is the hardest part 18:07 nausicaa it's not open source :-( 18:07 nausicaa http://www.mtechsoft.com/cache.shtml 18:06 nausicaa in fact our SIGB (http://www.linux-france.org/prj/jargonf/S/SIGB.html) is vubis (from the society GEAC) it used Caché and mtech 18:06 chris so there is no automatic import tool for koha 18:06 chris but every library system seems to store borrower data differently 18:05 nausicaa hum... thanx 18:05 chris UNIMARC or MARC21 both import fine using the bulkmarcimport.pl script 18:05 chris for borrower data you will probably have to write a custom script to get it in 18:04 chris for bibliographic data its best if you can get it out as MARC 18:04 nausicaa did i have several possibilities ? 18:04 nausicaa i also wonder in which format (or extension) i should extract the library database... for insert it on a koha system... 18:03 nausicaa the pb is that maybe i should know this for extracting data... 18:03 chris i havent heard of it, but im quite willing to believe it exists, its probably a pick based language 18:02 nausicaa you know... 18:02 nausicaa but you this language exists... i'm not telling nonsense here ??? 18:01 chris nope im not familair with mtech 18:00 nausicaa this language is used in my library for extracting data from the books/items/users database... this is not mySQL... that's the problem 17:59 nausicaa mtech codes ? 17:59 nausicaa just a simple question... did anyone here know what is mtech language ?? 17:55 nausicaa hi rach... hi chris 17:55 rach hi 17:50 chris hi there 17:50 nausicaa hi everyone ! 17:38 rach hello
