Hi, Jackson,
Just adding my two cents worth in, although Rachel is right on the money when she says you should join the mailing list (definitely!).
In reply to your e-mail questions:
[...] I find it hard to understand the following terms found in field 0 of Koha. I'd like if you can explain them and their purpose. Am I to fill them up or do they fill up automatically?
They are: 000 - Leader 003 - Control number identifier 005 - Date and time of latest transaction 008 - Fixed length date elements - General information Just to clarify, there are plugins for all of these fields that will generate values, as well as pop-ups for refining the selections. For instance, in the leader plugin, you simply tab or click the 001 field and a default values will appear. If you wish to change

The same applies for the 008 field. 005 and 003 are populated automatically, 005 based on the current date/time, and 003 based on a system preference you set in the system preferences section of the administrative module.
