The reference manual implies that Koha once supported formats other than MARC, and the setting for this is still described in the manual. I'm curious about what happened with this feature, and what happens if you change the setting in current versions of Koha, does anyone know? Is it totally broken in current versions, or what? I would love it if I could use Koha with a non-MARC database. I have a collection that absolutely *must* be cataloged with a proprietary database schema and I am skeptical that a crosswalk to MARC will retain all the metadata I need. The only other ILS system I've identified that would allow me to not use MARC is Inmagic's Library Suite, and that's only with the assistance of their Professional Services group. 2009/8/27 Jesse <pianohacker@gmail.com>

Hello,

What do you mean by XML cataloging? At the moment, all cataloging in Koha must be done in MARC. It can export MODS and Dublin Core, but it can't store records in those formats.
