Man, will I *ever* get used to the "do not reply to list" thing? This was supposed to be public.

Actually, I think this enhancement request might already be there: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2060 I'm *definitely* in favor of this.  We're dying a slow death without a way to import LC (or OCLC) authority records.

The Koha set up is somewhat clunky, but is at least a beginning in trying to make things standardized. The first improvement I would suggest is the ability to import LC authority headings into Koha...

I think this is a great enhancement idea. Something similar to the marc import tool or possibly similar to the z3950 biblio search. Would you mind opening an enhancement request at http://bugs.koha.org so that we can keep track of it and possibly garner some sponsorship for it?

Kind Regards, Chris

What are the authorities for? I cant find a explanation for them, I am trying to edit the 100 $a field, i figured out how to add authorities, do a search for that authority to stick it in the 100$a field, but whats the point? I could just turn them off, would it have a great affect on things?

Thanks. For those that reply.
