Hello all

If any happy Koha cataloguers out there have a favourite Z39.50 source for good MARC records in a format that Koha can readily import, please would you share the site and settings that work best for you. I am finding Library of Congress is surprisingly not a good source, or maybe I have something wrong in the syntax and encoding settings. Any advice most gratefully accepted!

Many thanks Agnes

Do you find that there's extensive French language content in the AMICUS records? We prefer to keep our records relatively "clean", so lots of French subject headings, etc. would be an issue for us.
