Hi This is a general question on behalf of the Nottingham University CD and Record library (http://www.nurl.co.uk). We are an established student run CD lending library and are interested in using Koha to keep track of our catalogue/lending. Having successfully installed Koha_2.2.9 on Debian Etch with mysql_5.0.32 it seems to offer much of the functionality we require. However, as seems to be the case with many posts, not being from a library background we struggle to fully understand the MARC record structure. The system will be stand alone and We don't foresee any need for our database to interact with any other library databases. So my main question is about the cataloguing of music CDs within Koha and MARC framework. Are there any existing users of Koha who have experience in cataloguing music CDs? Is there a recognised method or existing MARC structure we should use rather than having to define our own? After a quite exhaustive search on the subject the nearest I could find was a Library of Congress site that shows an example of the MARC structure for a digital recording: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/sound.html Should we use a MARC based structure on this, or is there a better approach?
