I'm playing with you file, and it seems at 1st glance to work well.
I've a problem with 3 records : they have no ISBN neither ISSN.
Here is 1 of the biblio (hard to read... just consider the 1st column is
the tag : ISSN/ISBN are 020/022, and are not here) :

do you confirm this, and what do you expect koha to do with such a record
?
Paul,
Honestly, yesterday was my introduction to library circulation/card catalog
systems. I guess what we are looking for is a web-based card catalog and
circulation system. Our school network is Linux based, so I looked around
for a open source solution with a web front end and found Koha. Probably
the next step is for me to set up a prototype and import some data and let
the librarian play with it.
While I was talking with the librarian yesterday, she did mention that some
of the books were too old to have ISBN numbers. What would be the best way
to deal with those? Would we generate our own, or is there a commonly
accepted practice for dealing with that?
