Greetings, We found it very confusing to add a new authority record for Personal Name(and others as well, I guess) in Koha. Do we really need to fill out all those fields? Can't we make just having tab 1 on display, because that's actually the record we want to add? Would appreciate it if someone could explain how Authorities work in Koha. regards, SlyzertVoltrond
You don't need to fill in every field, just the ones that are appropriate to your needs http://www.loc.gov/marc/uma/ might help. Also this lists minimal levels http://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/nlr/nlr.html On Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 7:55 AM, SlyzertVoltrond <maxwell.sama@gmail.com> wrote:
