We have 50000 volumes in our college library and all the details of that are in excel that has been made before of koha installation. Now what I want is can I migrate all the data into koha and even if i can migrate the data, can it be accommodated effectively. I would like to inform you that I have installed the koha in ubuntu platform.

It's possible to migrate excel data to koha including holdings and circulation data. Before that it is imp to know, how the data is organized in the excel file. Importing of bibliographic details is almost easy. But holding is very difficult. At first we should organize koha parameters and excel file  according to the needs.

Marc edit is the suitable solution for converting excel data into koha. In Marc edit there is a component available Delimited text translator. Using that tool we can map excel columns into Marc fields.
