Hi Jane

I can't answer in respect to how Sirsi-dynix works. But frameworks for
Koha, in a nutshell, allow you to build up a different set of MARC
tags for cataloguing differing types of items.
EG you might have an Audio CD framework that just has the fields that
are useful wrt to it. Basically it allows you to define a framework
that means you dont have to tab through a bunch of fields (that you
leave empty).

Hope that helps
