Koha supports standards such as MARC 21 and Z39.50 allowing you to quickly catalog your resources. To facilitate the entry of your resources, you can create different slips by document type. You could, for example, have a slip for entering your periodic and another slip for entering your DVDs. For each note, you can determine which MARC fields appear there and assign them different defaults.
Increased Reliability in Circulation
Koha allows you to specify your lending policies per library, patrons categories, and document types. For each of these combinations, you are able to define the duration of the loan, maximum number of documents, fines for late issues, etc. Although these values are configurable, the staff at circulation desk can override these limits to meet exceptional circumstances.
Patrons management
With Koha, you can quickly add new patrons. According to the technology your library is using, it is possible to automate the creation and authentication of users to avoid manual entry of patron by your staff. Koha also allows you to import users from a document created from a spreadsheet document.
