Cataloguing 3D Physical Objects in Koha
Description
Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it
Developed as part of the IADT Materials Library project, the guide addresses the particular challenges posed by physical objects in library cataloguing systems designed primarily for text-based materials. It covers two workflows: a single item record and a multi-item (kit) record for groups of related samples. Using real examples from the IADT Materials Library, the guide walks users through each relevant MARC 21 field, mapped to Koha’s tab-based interface, and includes a quick field reference and two complete sample records.
