I have a collection of historical records, documents, papers (not books), all are managed by ISIS, also possess a library with 3000 books, can I use KOHA to manage all I have. I can catalog my manuscripts and documents with MARC KOHA.
Yes, if you're happy to use MARC. We have a few MSS items in our Koha catalogue, and it works fine for us. Most of our MSS collections however are in Calm, and (I wouldn't recommend Calm, but it was not my decision to make). We're now looking at ways to integrate the two so researches don't have to search in two places. On Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 7:59 PM, Ruben Norori <kachomanic@hotmail.com>wrote:

Hi Ruben, It is most likely that you can. Define the metadata you want to capture in relation to records, documents and papers and assign each element to a relevant MARC field. Group your various materials using item types and collection codes. I hope this helps. Bob Birchall Calyx On 20/03/14 06:59, Ruben Norori wrote:
