Hi, I'd suggest taking a look at Mac's Cataloging Cheat Sheets. Each one covers one aspect of cataloging. Those bite-sized topics might be a way to set some policies and gain some insight to cataloging. http://slc.bc.ca/cheats/ Sincerely, David Bigwood bigwood@lpi.usra.edu http://catalogablog.blogspot.com Twitter LPI_Library
Hello,
I am helping a community center set up their library on Koha. Can somebody suggest some reading material or websites which gently introduce basics of managing a very small library (around 1000 or so books)? It will be much appreciated.
What they are doing now is: 1. Search a book on Z39.50 servers and import the data if they find
it.
2. If they don't, then they just want to enter the data manually.
The second step is where they are not sure how to go about doing it. They have their list of book written in a notebook for now. They have their own call numbers as well. What they really want is to know which minimum fields to fill in while entering a catalog item in Koha. And if they find the book on Z39.50 search, they would prefer to use their own call numbers and not Library of Congress'.
I am not familiar with library systems, hence my request for help here. All advice is appreciated.
Thanks. HS.
