When our librarian is adding books, she only have a list of pblishers

for those fields that she doesnt have to type it every time but simply
choose what she wants?
You do not give the size of your holdings, but, while an author and or
publisher drop-down might be (technically, code-wise) possible, you
would end up with something so long it would be unusable.
For authors -- you most probably have them as an "authority", so just
use "tag editor" icon at the end of 100$a
As to publisher, we do not declare them as authorities (maybe other
libraries do) because there is so much variation as to legal/declared
name (and if you include place of publication it gets worse.) Once in a
while we do a "tidy up", which finds a few typos and minor variations
which we manually correct, but we still end up with more than is
practicable for a drop-down:
mysql> SELECT distinct(publishercode) from biblioitems;
/..../
