Hi ya, Hopefully starting on a new thread. Just in the last few weeks we've had a couple of clients who would really benefit from an easier way to do their own cataloging. They don't (Sadly) find their specialist materials being well serviced via the various z39.50 servers etc, often because they are doing cataloging of materials they are producing themselves, or from other government departmens/private publishers essentially. As alluded to we (Katipo) did have an interface to do this in the very early versions of Koha, and I still have essentially the spec for it in the form of a working version, and screen shots/manual type stuff - we called it simple acquisitions, and in the current version of Koha you can see that there is a preference for either simple or normal acquisitions - of which only normal is really there. I've been toying with the idea of seeing what's involved in essentially adding a simple acquisitions module back in again - but saw that Galen I think is planning something similar sounding as a simple MARC module. So I'm wondering if the two ideas are close enough to be the same thing? I'd anticipate still doing some "money stuff" as part of a simpler acquisitions process - it's just you wouldn't order & recieve, it'd be all one action - for libraries that basically pop down to their local book shop twice a year to get some new materials in, but who still want to keep a record of what they cost. So I'm not sure if that takes it out of the realm of a simple MARC catalogue system. Anyways, if anyone has strong views one way or the other let me know. I'm a bit biased against the current MARC interface - we get people being intimidated by it (me included :-) but I'm prepared to work through it. Cheers Rachel
