adding Z39.50 search results to reservoir
I consider using KOHA for cataloging a book collection, so I am experimenting with Z39.50 search. Koha 2.2 Users Guide http://kohadocs.org/usersguide/ch04s02.html#d0e2485 states Once Koha has searched through the list of Z39.50 servers that were setup in your Koha parameters, the pop-up window will display the search results. At this point, all of the retrieved records have been added to your MARC reservoir. Is this really so? My experiments suggest that only the item explicitely imported (by clicking on the "Import" button in the pop-up window) is added to the reservoir. Have I misunderstood something?

Hi Yes this is right, they are imported into the reservoir, and the one you select is imported into the catalog. You can test this by going to cataloguing typing in the isbn or the title of one of the results that came back from you Z3950 search before. And you should get that showing in the reservoir section of the results. Chris -- Chris Cormack chris.cormack@liblime.com VP Research and Development www.liblime.com LibLime +64 21 542 131

Thanks for your quick answer.

Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. In a few days I will try again with a fresh installation of a more recent version of KOHA. Best regards Janusz -- , dr hab. Janusz S. Bien, prof.
