Re: [Koha-devel] Serials and MARC

[Spencer Anspach]

I think MARC *holdings* are meant.  Any time I've been involved with discussions of MARC in the context of serials, the implied meaning is MARC holdings records--that's the most important part to serials catalogers.

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?)
