[Koha] Obtaining MARC21 records

[Christopher M. Jones]

Its a small private Christian school (Jr. High + High) for at-risk
African American boys from the New Orleans housing developments. We've
got a room with shelves and boxes of donated books, and no money in the
budget to hire anyone to be a librarian. I'm just an English teacher who
knows something about computers and found Koha one day. 

ANYTHING you have that might help is welcome :-)


> On another topic: I remember your name from a while back but I cannot remember what kind of school library you're working at (I am sorry if that seems obvious to others on the listserv, but in case people have forgotten, we've had theological seminary libraries referred to as "school" collections so I'd rather be clear). I would have some alternate suggestions for you if we are truly talking about a K-12 school library, ones that would provide more and better notes than LC tends to provide for Children's and Young Adult lit.

> As for the virtual shelves: I had the same question a while back. IIRC, the answer is that it is basically a way of setting up a bibliographic list, like for reserved books for a course or project.
