I hope I can give you the "non technical" answer. We are both adding a website as a link to a catalogued item (book), and cataloguing URL's as separate items. For a particular "book" there can be more than one website link, and we had supplimentry information as well, like the words that should form the link - ie http://www.katipo.co.nz = URL Katipo Website = Link Words And we had a note/description so that you could say..... <a href="http://www.katipo.co.nz">Katipo Website</a> Visit this site to check the latest news and Koha installs. The work that we (Katipo) did with cataloguing websites predated the MARC work so it may be that some tidying up needs to be done to get the two together in a sensible way. Let me know if that points you in the right direction, and if not then we'll await a more technical response :-) Cheers Rachel _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications MANAGING DIRECTOR Ph 021 389 128 or +64 04 934 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 12487, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand Koha Open Source Library System http://www.koha.org

Ok! this sounds v interesting, as because we are using Koha not just to setup an F/L/OSS-based ILS/OPAC, but rather as a starting point for our Digital Library. In fact, we expect our electronic subscriptions (to journals and scientific publications) and other digital content which we are developing in-house at the University to become an imp part of the Library. I'm still finding my feet around Koha, so I will bug u once again. How to link this table to the Koha Interface or is the linkage already present and its just me who needs a clue? :-P TIA --indra. ------------------------------------------------------------- Indranil Das Gupta, Project Lead, CASTLE Project [Computer Aided Studies, Teaching and Learning Environment] West Bengal University of Technology Calcutta, INDIA www.wbut.net -------------------------------------------------------------
