hai, i want to clear that this is my 1st experience in the automation of the library,i don't have any database .I am just starting the manual data entry in the koha to prepare the database.the problems mentioned in my earlier mail are related to the dispaly of record after entering the data manually using keyboard into the koha. Anyone provide his/her help to me? Kanwal On 9/29/2004, "Rosalie Blake" <rosalie@library.org.nz> wrote:
Dear kanwaljit It is very possible to use koha without using MARC, and my libraries do it all the time.
But if you don't already have a database, it's a lot more work to build one without MARC than if you are able to import records from another database. So while it is possible to ignore MARC, it's probably quicker and safer to master importing MARC records.
I'm sorry that I can't help you with your problem, but I am sure someone else who has the experience will help you sort it out so that you can import MARC records cleanly.
Good Luck Rosalie

like this is a complete classification no.
004.33 L7831R
it has 3 portions like
Dewey main class: 004 Dewey subclass: .33 Item/book No.: L7831R
which portion is meant for which part of the classification No?
