[Koha] Adding items on Koha

HI

Thank you for saying which version you're runing it's really helpful :-)

Hmm so you have the biblio's in the database, but they don't have items 
attached?

I know in the later versions we added in the ability to search by title as well 
as ISBN - 1.9.4 I believe has that.  I'm not sure if that is helpful or not.

You could switch to full acquisistions within 1.2.3 which should give you the 
option to search by title, 
as well as ISBN I think.
