[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Serials Migration

[Tim Spindler]

I've been looking at one aspect of this.  We can get a textual holdings
statement (866) out of our system.  It looks like it would be fairly simple
to just dump this data in the table serials.record_entry with some
modification to be compliant with marc xml, etc.  I know this doesn't deal
with the prediction pattern but if somehow manage to get the prediction
pattern built from the date of migration, will it matter that the holdings
statement wasn't build from a prediction pattern.  The following are some
examples of the MFHD data we have been able to extract.  Our system largely
seems to just be providing 866.

=245  00$aBlack enterprise.
=866  \\$81$av.29:no.8-  1999:Mar-

=245  00$aAmerican libraries.
=866  \\$81$av.33-   2002-  [Microfilm=v.15-v.32 1984-2001]

Also, each file represents the holdings of one library.  It looks like we
have to extract serial holdings from libraries separately.
