Ken, I can help with #2. When I was cataloging I would use: http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/default.htm to keep track of what data I'm supposed to put in what field. Nicole On Mon, May 3, 2010 at 5:33 PM, Ken Lomax <ken@lomax.gen.nz> wrote:
Hi All
I have recently installed Koha 3.0.5 on a standalone machine (Debian Lenny) for a small personal library (about 800 holdings).
In the past (a couple of years ago) I tried to install the then current version on Fedora, but had too many problems, both with the installation and then using Koha itself.
Happy to report the latest install and the software is a big improvement.
Just two things though:
1) Like a recent thread I am finding the response of Koha to be very slow. This was from initial setup. I have about 60 holdings loaded and it is the same as initially with no holdings. I am the only user accessing the system. The machine is a reasonable size PC and so I would have thought there would not be too much problem, so I am surpirsed at the slowness (generally about 5 seconds to respond to any request). Opac is the same as Koha.
2) I am using z3950 for my cataloging whever I can and making modifications as required for myself. As this is only a small personal library, it is not critical. However I tend to like to do things *properly* whenever possible. I am more of a computer person than a librarian, so I am looking for a newbies guide to cataloging (and using MARC). Any suggestions?
Regards Ken
