[Koha] Frameworks and Their Purpose

[Caroline Cyr-La-Rose]

Hi Charles,

Frameworks are cataloguing "forms". You can use many different ones or 
just the default one.

The advantage of using different ones is that you can show different 
MARC fields and add default values.

For example, you can have one 'Book' framework, where you would show 020 
(ISBN), and put the default rda material/support/media codes for printed 
material in 336, 337 and 338. And you can have a 'DVD' framework, where 
you would show 024 (CUP), but not 020 and put the default rda 
material/support/media codes for projected visual in 336, 337 and 338.
