[Koha] Simplifying Koha records

Hi list,

I was hoping someone could point me to information on how to set up
Koha for a very small library. We have about 1500 books, and all users
are employees, so we want all users to be able to take out books by
themselves. My main problem so far is in the large amount of data I
need to enter for each book. Currently the collection is indexed by a
program that only stores author, title, publisher and year (and is not
complete for all books). I have zero knowledge about MARC records and
about 90% of the fields available for filling in. And I don't want to
put too much time into learning about them either, since they don't
seem necessary nor useful for such a small collection.

At first I was under the impression Koha was suitable for small
collections, but now that I've got it running I'm thinking I might
have been wrong about that. Any help at all will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Cris.
