Hi all, <BR>
<BR>
I've just managed to successfully install and configure Koha on my local computer. <BR>
I am now trying to add electronic books/journals as test entries, but have a few issues.<BR>
<BR>
I am curious to know whether the default Marc method of entry is used by the majority of people for capturing of catalogue information? In my (non-librarian) eyes it seems very picky and unintuitive. <BR>
<BR>
For e.g. Trying to add a Title for a Serial (440) doesn't allow me to type one in but requires a predefined list?<BR>
<BR>
Does every single author/journal title/etc. have to exist in the Authorities list?<BR>
<BR>
Am I missing something about the way the data should be captured?<BR>
Any help or guidance would be really appreciated. <BR>
<BR>
BTW Will Koha allow me to store e-journals within the system? In other words, people browsing the catalogue will be able to download an e-journal article or e-book. <BR>
<BR>
Thanks <BR>
Rax
