[Koha] original MARC record

[Nicole Engard]

Kate,

You can't type in the field because you have the wrong setting for the
BiblioAddsAuthorities system preference. This preference makes it so
that you can only search for authority records - not type in data
yourself.

As for the the authority search, it searches the records in your
system - not systems outside.
