[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Serials in 2.0: anyone working on import script for existing MFHD records

[Repke de Vries]

Hi all

with "Serials in 2.0"  I mean the new database setup introduced by  
Dan Wells + two sets of functionalities on top of that: "Serial  
Control View" and "Alternate Serial Control" (by two different  
programming teams).

And my question goes back to an early november 2010 Evergreen  2.0  
alpha4 discussion [1]  where we had to conclude that an importing  
script for MARC MFHD records to populate all the "Serials 2.0"  
database tables, did *not* yet exist - though several libraries (ours  
among them) expressed the need for it [2].

I wonder where we are now: anyone working on such a MFHD MARC records  
importing script or approach?

Our library might be able to contribute but one would expect that at  
least some script exists by now that could be further refined.

How else could we seriously introduce these new Evergreen 2.0 Serials  
features if we can't get the data in (not to mention: export them  
again) :-)

Yours, Repke de Vries, IISH
