Karin, many of the fields are explained in the "Migrating to Koha" document, http://www.skemotah.com/Migrating_to_Koha.html. Stephen Hedges Nelsonville Public Library
In November 2003 somebody asked here for a "list of what each field in the various tables do" - see the e-mail below. I am still waiting for the answer.
OR if somebody would explain or send a link to an explanation of meaning of and difference between biblio biblionumber biblioitemnumber itemnumber

We're just starting out with Koha 2.0 to see if it could be used as a replacement for Follett. However, we are running into a few snags that should be fairly simple to fix.
Our major snag is lack of documentation for the internals of Koha. For instance, is there a description of the various database tables, and what each field is used for? This would make mapping fields to MARC fields much simpler. We're running into problems with our mappings, especially with the distinction between items and biblioitems, for instance.
Is this kind of low-level documentation available anywhere?? -- Freddie Cash District HelpDesk / Network Admin fcash@sd73.bc.ca helpdesk@sd73.bc.ca (250) 377-HELP [(250) 377-4357]
