[Koha] Koha question for archives

[Linda Culberson]

This is a question for the government archives out there using Koha but 
also for anyone else who might have some ideas.   We have thousands of 
state Supreme Court Case records that are called for by case number. 
They were not in our old catalog and therefore aren't in Koha simply 
because of the sheer volume of them.  They are heavily used, as you can 
imagine, and so need to be in the catalog so we can track their use 
along with our our other holdings.   Patrons can only have one box at a 
time, which is the rule for all of our archival materials.

I'm thinking of creating fast add records using the case name as the 
title and the case number as the call number. There is of course, a box 
and/or folder number depending on the complexity of the case, and we 
have all that information in a database that I can pull from to create 
the biblios and items.

I know that other archives use Koha, but I'm unclear as to whether other 
archives are using circulation (which is why we use an ILS)  and how 
they handle really huge collections such as our state supreme court.

Please feel free to contact me off list, as this may not be of interest 
to many. Thanks in advance.
