[Koha-devel] [Koha] RFC for MARC holdings record support

Hi Katrin,

I've now read the RFC, but I don't understand your comment. My point was
more that the 952 duplicates a lot of fields that are in MARC holdings
records. If you're saying that people would use MARC holdings records plus
the item database fields that convert to the 952... that just seems weird to
me. Would data be kept in both places? Just in the items/952 fields? 

In a time where we're trying to move away from MARC, I find the idea of
adding more MARC support interesting. 

That said, I think being able to import/export MARC will be vital for a very
long time, and if we can make Koha look more like other ILSes that people
are familiar with (like Voyager for instance) maybe that's not a bad thing.

Hi David,

take a look at the RFC, the suggestion is to make holdings records an
optional feature. 952 would not be affected.
