[Koha] Re: Questions about Koha

[Rosalie Blake]

Hello Amber
Welcome to the Koha community. I've taken the liberty of copying 
your email to koha at lists.katipo.co.nz, because I know there are 
people there who can give you a better answer than I can on your 
specific question about transferring MARC records. My libraries are 
not yet using the new version, and we don't download MARC 
records, so I can't comment on that aspect, but I can tell you that we 
are very happy with Koha. It meets our needs as a public library, 
and it is quite flexible in terms of specific needs of school libraries. I 
am sure you will find it worth further investigation.
Good Luck
Rosalie
