[Koha] Cataloguing

[Rakesh Mistry]

Thanks for the replies.. 

The BiblioAddsAuthorities preference definitely improves things a little
bit :) 

I've already looked at chunks of the manual, but I'm not sure that makes
for a user-friendly catalogue capture screen. Do most people just use
the standard Marc21 frameworks as it comes with Koha, or do you delete
all of the "unnecessary" fields and keep only what you need?
And is there a way to make it look friendlier?

I was really hoping we'd be able to store e-stuff directly into the
ILS...
