Hi Eric

What you want to do here is go to parameters/admin and then to system
preferences. Then there is a setting MARC which will be set to on.
Edit that, and set it to 0 (off).
This doesnt turn MARC off, it just hides it behind the scenes. So it allows
you to catalogue in an interface that is a little simpler.

The data is still stored in MARC format in the database, as well as in the
Koha format, but it just allows you to see a screen that says, Author title
etc like you are expecting.

Give it a whirl and let us know how you get on

Chris
