In Hanover, we are cataloguing everything in Koha. Most records are imported individually using the Z39.50 search, and a few are created by copying and editing a similar record from our database (e.g. large print editions). Several other libraries in our group pay their book suppliers to provide a file of MARC records for the items they purchase, which are then imported with Stage MARC records for import, and then edited with local info. Some even have the book supplier add 952 fields with their local branch, item type code, callnumber and barcode number. As far as I know, none of our group are using Biblios to create or copy the records, but that is an option we are aware of. HTH Agnes Owen Leonard wrote:
I'd like to take an informal survey to get some ideas from the Koha-using community. My library has never done the bulk of its cataloging within Koha. We switched to Koha from a system which didn't have a good cataloging module, so our catalogers have always been most comfortable with their separate cataloging tools. However, we're always looking for ideas for improving our workflow.
Koha users, are you doing all your cataloging within Koha? If not, what are you using?
