Obviously accidentally pressing send before completing the email is something I'm also going to have to learn about - apologies!<br><br>Questions: <br><br>When cataloguing, if I want to enter an author (using z3950) whose name has a foreign character, for example, an umlaut, the page freezes and I lose the entry.

<div><br>This sounds like it might be a browser or Koha problem. Can you check your Koha error log to see if any errors are reported, and tell us what browser you're using on what OS?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
By far the majority of my cataloguing is original, records aren't in other libraries elsewhere. Is there a quick and easy way of doing this? It all seems so long winded at the moment, it's enough to make me wish for old-style catalogue cards, at least I could quickly and easily enter data onto those!!! (No not really!) Is anyone else doing manual cataloguing and would like to share thoughts and best practice?</blockquote>
<div><br>I am currently working on a textual, syntax highlighted MARC editor (similar to a lightweight, in-Koha version of <a href="http://biblios.net">biblios.net</a>'s MARC editor) as a possible faster option alongside our current system of several hundred text fields.<br>

I don't want to check them in, I'm talking about a run of journals that are no longer published, entering them as one item but showing which issues we have, and any indexes etc.</blockquote>
<div><br>That depends on whether you wish to use Koha's serials module; it's a tradeoff between complexity setting up each journal or spending more time manually entering in each issue. Probably depends on the size of your library.<br>
