I guess I'm not fully understanding the problem here. You already have to create a biblio record in Koha before you can add a serials subscription. So if you're using MARC biblios, I would assume you create a MARC record for the serial. For MARC 21, LoC gives an example: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/serial.html. Holdings are another matter -- we *do* have a problem there. But it seems Koha otherwise already allows for MARC records for serials. (What did I misunderstand?) Stephen Joshua Ferraro said:
Hi all,
I've been speaking to a couple of US law libraries who are very interested in Koha. All seems well except for one hitch: they require that serials be MARC-compliant. So my question is, what would be involved in 'linking' a serial to a MARC record? Also, what would be the best way to handle 'holdings' in such a scenerio. There are likely some funds available to get Koha where it needs to be so let's try to figure out what the best way to proceed is ... any comments?
