Hello, We have been using various versions of koha for about 2 years. Each time our computer person would put the updated version on the library computer, it has been a good thing...it has made my job easier. That is until this latest version (2.0). I am so confused and frustrated, I'm ready to scrape the whole thing and go back to the good old days of paper and pencil. I am not a librarian, but know the dewey decimal system and how to run a library, in general. I am starting my 6th year as the librarian at a small ( just over 100 students) K-8 school. When I started here, the library was computerized using a system by the Follette Company. It was pretty straight forward and the previous librarian taught me every thing I would need to know (so I thought). All the previous versions of koha had everything our library needed. This new version is giving me way too much information. Is there a version for people who are not really librarians and don't need to set tag fields, etc. ? If not, here is where I am stuck... In PARAMETERS, I went to MARC tag structure. Clicking on MARC tag structure, it took me to the MARC tag structure admin. Across the top of that page it has: Tag Lib Repeatable Mandatory Authorized Value Subfields Edit Delete. What does REPEATABLE and MANDATORY mean? Under Repeatable and Mandatory , for each tag listed it has YES or NO. Are these Repeatable and Mandatory columes pre-set by the koha people? Should I change them or leave them alone? Why the heck am I being put through all this trouble when the last version was filling all the needs of our small library? I loved the way it was set up when I was doing Original Cataloging for a book. It was so easy and fast. I planned to put all the non-fiction books on the koha system computer over the summer and I haven't been able to get anything accomplished. Thanks for letting me rant. If I can get past this Repeatable and Mandatory section, maybe I will be able to figure out the rest of it. Thank you, Suzanne Gilbert IHM School P.S. I used to be on the koha mailing list. I haven't received any messages since early July. I'm not sure if this is the correct e-mail address to which I should send this plea. If not, please forward this message to the proper address.
