Dear all, <br><br>I am a librarian with hardly any cataloging experience since library school, and I am now trying to learn how to catalog in Koha 3.0 that we are implementing in our school library. (We are changing from an old follett system).<br>
<br>I have some problems, one of my major problems is the authority control for example Personal names. I understand the value, but I can't get it to work? It is there as a default, but I don't understand how to add the authority to search in? And I read some instructions that if no authority record is found, I'm supposed to be able to enter the author name manually, but I can't do that. The 100 9 and 100 a continues to be grey and non-writable. Is there a database to upload for this authority control ? <br>
<br>Since our catalog is quite messy to begin with, we already have the problem of names entered differently, but with the smart search in koha I don't find it as problematic as in our old system, so I am thinking of "turning" authority control off. Problem is I don't understand how to do that either.<br>
<br>Anyone who can help out?<br><br>Anna<br clear="all"><br><br>++++++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>Anna Kågedal<br>Kodaikanal International School<br>Seven Roads Junction<br>Kodaikanal 624101<br>Tamil Nadu, India<br>home phone: +914542247269<br>
