Dear sirs, hello

I have been dealing with Horizon 8.0 as a library management system for
almost three years, however now I’m installing koha and I’ve been going
through the system, experiencing its features, and exploring its
characteristic.

The only aspect I’ve found where Horizon is more flexible is the MARC edit.

In koha you can’t add tags nor subfields unless you’ve add them in the
framework first,

The cataloger might face different cases when he find himself in need to
add tags or subfields that do not exist in the framework he’s working by.

We can’t edit the framework every time we need to add a tag or a subfield,
especially which we might not use this tags with all the records we’re
cataloging.

Best regards
