you can search books by ISBN with Z3950 search option. for example we create new search option for search in NUKAT and KARO (usable for polish libraries) by ISBN or title:)

I think what Robin is looking for is something like Alliance Plus from Follett, where you can search for a title and pull MARC records from somewhere else. I'm new to Koha (still haven't quite got it running), but I wouldn't think it would offer anything like that. I believe Follett charges for the use of Alliance Plus, I do wonder if you could subscribe to something like Alliance Plus and use it with Koha.

Hi Folks, Koha does indeed do that. :) ie: Koha pulls records from public Z39.50 servers , based on a ISBN or Title search Cheers, Mason -- Mason James mason.james@liblime.com Programmer www.liblime.com LibLime +64 21 542 117
