Thanks for the replies.. <BR>

The <FONT COLOR="#000000">BiblioAddsAuthorities</FONT> preference definitely improves things a little bit :) <BR>
<BR>
I've already looked at chunks of the manual, but I'm not sure that makes for a user-friendly catalogue capture screen. Do most people just use the standard Marc21 frameworks as it comes with Koha, or do you delete all of the "unnecessary" fields and keep only what you need?<BR>
And is there a way to make it look friendlier?<BR>
<BR>
I was really hoping we'd be able to store e-stuff directly into the ILS... <BR>
