[Koha] Editing staged records

[Ryan Higgins]

Hi Tim, Cab

Tim: there are two ways to get a record from the reservoir into the catalog.
One is by loading it into the MARC editor, modifying it, and then saving it.
The other is by importing via the Staging interface.
A record can be stored in the reservoir either by 'Staging', i.e. uploading
a MARC
file, or by importing a record from a Z39.50 target.
You can't edit a record and save it back to the reservoir; the reservoir
will always
hold the original unaltered record.  So you should be able to modify a
record
after adding it to the reservoir by doing a Cataloging Search and loading it
into
the MARC editor.

Cab: The search facility for the reservoir is quite limited; it assumes you
pretty
much know what you're looking for.  The title search is right truncated,
exact, even
including what might normally be considered stop words.  In the future,
we'll probably
index the reservoir with Zebra, but for now, you'll need the exact title or
isbn to find
the record.

Hope that helps,

Ryan
