Bug 7708

In France, each "département" (roughly a little bit larger than a US county) has a "bibliothèque départementale".
This special library is dedicated to provide books to tiny libraries, by group of 200+
The tiny library go to the BDP (that does not use Koha), takes 200+ books, and also get a iso2709 file to include the catalogue directly into his local ILS (that is Koha ;-) )
When the tiny library send book backs (usually after a 6 months period), the BDP give a list of barcode in a file.

When the tiny library checkout books from the BDP, she add them into Koha. When the tiny library checkin books from the BDP, she removes them from Koha.

The script provided here is dedicated to manage this import/export.

Note = import can't be done through reservoir import, as there are some specific things to do during import that depends on the BDP giving the file and the tiny library including it.

This script is a wrapper for import/export specific to each BDP/tiny. We will also provide many specific scripts we've made for each of our libraries.

Note 2 = you can now understand why we've developped bug 6751 feature : this is why the BDP can export checked in barcodes

(we have one BDP using Koha, and many tiny libraries -depending from other BDP-)
