[Koha] Biblio records as book set "container" records - hierarchical groupings

Anne, Thanks for all your tips on the MARC fields. However, before I 
get too immersed in the MARC aspect of this, I'd like to find out 
whether Koha makes use of these fields in linking BiblioItems to a 
"series" Biblio when importing. I can put all the information I like 
into the MARC records beforehand, but then if I have to go and do 
something else in Koha anyway. . .

>I checked WorldCat at OCLC for Oxford reading and found an Oxford 
Firefly series.

Could you point me to the z39.50 server information? Many libraries 
don't list many of our books, it's a bit of an Easter egg hunt <g>


To everyone:

What I'd really like is when the user puts in a search query and gets 
back a list of Reader titles, for Koha to also display the related 
"other" records - teachers' notes, audio, etc.

I realise I can try to train the users on how to structure their 
searches properly, but it would be better if the Reader record could 
display the specific links to resources that support that title. If I 
have to, I'll manually add the list to each biblioitem, but that's a 
lot of work. 

But if I do decide to go this way, can this be done as a link for the 
user to just click on? I'm afraid if I list the call number, then 
when the call number needs to be changed I'll be doing endless find 
and replace editing on all the related records. . .

Thanks,

Hans
