[Koha] [Koha-devel] Question About MARC21 in koha

[Bob Birchall @ Calyx]

I think you mean 'how'?  Koha uses MARC for the description of bibliographic
records.  Whether it is MARC21 or Unimarc is determined by the user during
the Web install, and the choice is recorded in the system preference
Cataloging/marcflavour .  This then determines the field definitions in the
Default framework of the Cataloguing module.  The translation between the
marc fields and the attributes of the MySQL tables is controlled by the
'koha to marc mapping' tables accessed on the Administration menu.  The full
marc definition of each bibliographic record is stored in MySQL in the
biblioitems table, at biblioitems.marcxml.

Hope that gets you started.

Subject: [Koha-devel] Question About MARC21 in koha

 

Hello all,

 I just wanted to know who Koha uses MARC21 exactly. I mean where is it
installed in Koha, how to develop and maintain the formats of MARC21 in
Koha.


Thanks,
Musab
