[Koha] Cataloguing Electronic resources

[Olugbenga Adara]

Hello Ann,

For the libraries I set up, I use itemtypes rather than ccode. I make sure 942$c is turned on in the frameworks to catalogue ebooks, websites etc and choose the proper itemtype. 

There is also a system preference, i think, that i turn on that uses the biblios itemtype rather than the items itemtype to search.
