Hi Paul, thanks a lot for your prompt and complete reply.
BMI is usually used when migrating. So it's only once, before you go live.
Ah I see.
SMRI is used on a daily basis by librarians. For example (as you're french), after getting your order list from Electre. Or from DVD vendors. Those vendors send by mail an iso2709 file, that can be included in Koha in a few clics.
Understood, thanks.
3. Once I understand things better, I'm willing to write something in the manual or in the wiki to explain what I have understood and which could then be improved by others. old that be relevant, and, where would that fit best ? HTH
Yes it helped a lot, thanks. Reading your answer, I realize things are rather simple and perhaps not worth a lot of writing in the manual or on the wiki. Still, I'd appreciate it a lot to have a documentation that presupposes less library science knowledge the manual does.
PS: do you know there is also a french list, see http://www.koha-fr.org ?
Yes, I knew that, thanks. That said I thought the french list was more for things not of interest to english speaking people. Cheers, Sébastien.
