[Koha] [EXTERNAL] Re: Adding ebook records to koha

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Fred,

there were a lot of reports about that not working in the past, so you
are not the first to have run into it.

It usually turned out to be an issue with the options selected on the
page. The way older versions presented the form was an issue. I think it
was the current user's library that used to be selected by default.
Libraries are only present in items, so this worked as a filter from the
start.

Maybe have a another try some time :)
