Reformatted legacy catalogues to MARC21 for Koha

Biblioteca de Ciencias Sociales ‘Enzo Faletto’ — FLACSO Argentina

The Biblioteca de Ciencias Sociales ‘Enzo Faletto’ at FLACSO Argentina documented its implementation of Koha as part of a move toward interoperable, open-source library services. The library reformatted bibliographic records held in CEPAL and RELAP formats into MARC21 for use in Koha. Its case study describes reviewing and correcting existing records, preparing equivalence mappings, and addressing the lack of unique identifiers for physical items. The work covered monographs and periodical records. This is a documented migration rather than a simple catalogue launch: the source names the legacy formats, target system and data-reformatting process. The paper reports Koha version 3.16.01.000; no additional preservation platform is claimed here.
