You will need to be a bit more specific about what you mean by "suitable". Libraries (particularly public libraries) already use Koha for DVD's and a range of media - including cataloguing websites etc as well.
I mean, can it be configured to catalogue such features as certificate, region, language, subtitles etc without the system wanting an ISBN for them?
Yep sure - there is no requirement for an ISBN- it's not a required field Cheers Rachel -- ----------------------------- Rachel Hamilton-Williams General Manager Katipo Communications Ltd Phone: +64-4-934 1285 Mobile: 021 389 128 E-mail: rachel@katipo.co.nz Web: www.katipo.co.nz
You misunderstand me again. Does koha have facility to enter data in a way which remotely resembles real life, such as "Title", "Director", "Certificate" etc which is applicable to DVDs, or even something which approximates to English ("Author", "Publisher") for books? The owners of the DVD library I will be installing Koha for this week require to be able to enter relevant data. On 11/7/05, Rachel Hamilton-Williams <rachel@katipo.co.nz> wrote:

Yes it does, As Rachel said in her first reply " Libraries (particularly public libraries) already use Koha for DVD's and a range of media " If you switch marc off, and choose simple acquisitions you can enter data without seeing MARC tags, I think she said this also already. And of course you can edit the simple acquisition templates, and any other ones to say Director instead of author if you so wish.

Hi
You misunderstand me again.
I really didn't - the answer is "yes". Yes to plain english (or if you put in the hard yards plain any other language), and if you want to do something special yes you can change the labels in the the templates to be whatever you want. Take a look at this http://katipo.co.nz/gallery/album27 Which is an older version of Koha, but is the simple acquisitions with no marc OR and from here is one for normal acquisistions marc OFF (but it's a big flash file so be warned.). Cheers R Does koha have facility to enter data in a
