Well, it looks like I'm not the only one. My IT guru and I are going to experiment a bit, both on the editing and import and export of MARC frameworks. I got fed up with the process of deleting lots of individual fields so I'm looking at editing outside of Koha.<div>
I'll send a progress report. But it isn't a high priority at the moment, maybe sometime in January.</div><div>Meanwhile, if anyone who has a specific interest in historic or archival sound recordings could contact me off list so we could collaborate on what fields would be most useful, I'd appreciate it.</div>

Huge "Thank you!" This is a wonderful Christmas gift to us (and
it does feel like it is especially for us) since we have loads of
"</tt>historical or archival sound recordings in digital formats"<br>
<br>
I'd also like to second the motion for a "more user friendly method"
to import and export individual frameworks.<br>

I'm about to put together some rather specialized frameworks that
may be useful for other collections that have historical or
archival sound recordings in digital formats (we have both). Even
basing it on the existing one for audio cassettes and CDs is
taking a bit of time. It seems like it would be a good idea to
set up a repository of useful frameworks that we could share.

I wonder how it might be made easier to import and export
individual frameworks without overwriting existing ones. I
suppose one could cut and paste the raw data, but it would be
nice to have a more user friendly method.<br>
