Julie, You can delete tags that you do not use by using Koha Administration>Biblio Framework (MARC Structure). There should be a default framework, "MARC Structure", and if you click on that you will see all the fields. There is an option to delete each tag. However, it may be preferable to keep all the tags just in case you want to use them later. This leaves you open to do new projects using fields you are not now using. You can make a tag optional rather than mandatory by choosing "Edit tag" on the same Administration screen and unchecking the "mandatory" checkbox. The mandatory fields that are not filled in show up in yellow at least on my version) so it's easy to find out which fields are causing a record to be rejected.

We have heard of Koha and have attempted to install version 2.2.9 …and have had no experience using a LMS. This is our first attempt to test an open source .
We have attempted to enter a catalogue record into the prescribed Marc Record however some of the marc fields are not necessary for use and we did skip those fields…when we tried at add the record it did not accept.

What options do I choose to delete the marc fields that that are not relevant….please help.
