[Koha] Koha 3 - new cataloging client?

[Joshua Ferraro]

Hi Meiling,

The cataloging client was developed by LibLime as part of the Google
Summer of Code, last
summer, and subsequently we have been working toward a 1.0 release of
that software, which
we're calling 'Biblios'. It's in beta testing right now, and in fact,
you can trial it on the LibLime Koha 3
demo at koha.liblime.com (Click on the Biblios link). It's a separate
project from koha because it's
functionally distinct enough to be a standalone application.

How this relates to Koha is that we have written plugins between Koha
and Biblios to allow Biblios
to not only retrieve records from Koha, but also save them directly to
Koha either one at a time,
or in batch.

The demo is somewhat limited, but should give you a sense of the basic
functionality.

Hope that's helpful.

Cheers,
