[Koha] advice about basics of library management

[Bigwood, David]

Hi,

I'd suggest taking a look at Mac's Cataloging Cheat Sheets. Each one
covers one aspect of cataloging. Those bite-sized topics might be a way
to set some policies and gain some insight to cataloging.

it.
> 2. If they don't, then they just want to enter the data manually.

> The second step is where they are not sure how to go about doing it.
> They have their list of book written in a notebook for now. They have
> their own call numbers as well. What they really want is to know which

if

own

> I am not familiar with library systems, hence my request for help
here.
> All advice is appreciated.
