Product: Koha
Version: 2.0.0

(borrowed from an e-mail from Steven Baljkas, discussing the value of having
model records available to catalogers for various material types)
> For many cataloguing workers, exactly how the template for a record
> works probably doesn't matter. What does matter is that it have/indicate the
> required fields AND that, in as many cases as possible, predetermined
> information be there complete at the start.
(thus the value of a model record)

I believe Steven would be willing to create some model records
(baljkas at mb.sympatico.ca).
