Hi René,

I'm not sure if I completely understand your post, but you want to import 1 
specific record using the Z39.50 application in the cataloging section, right? 
Normally, when you get a hit (through ISBN or whatever) you can import the data 
by clicking 'Import'. This will bring you to the 'Add MARC record'-editor, with 
most fields filled in. There you can add, delete, change your data the way you 
like it. On the upper left side you'll have the option to 'Save' the 
bibliographic record. That way the record will be saved and will be visible in 
your OPAC.

AFAIK, no "reservoir" is needed, nor the 'Manage staged records' tool.

Note: this is the way to work to import 1 record at a time. For batch imports, 
that's another question 😊

Onderwerp: [Koha] Beginners problems - Z39.50 and the reservoir

Hi,

I'm René Seindal, and I've been setting up an evaluation instance of Koha for 
my wife. I'm not a librarian, but she is. We're in Italy.

I've installe Koha on an existing Debian testing system. Everything apparently 
went smooth and after configuration the public and the intra sites are 
functioning. As far as I can see the 'koha-common' services are running as they 
should.

I then searched for an ISBN in the Italian National Library Service through 
Z39.50. Found the book, imported it (got it twice for some
reason) and the records are now in the "reservoir".

I can see them in the Cataloging section but not anywhere else. It is not in 
the public catalog. I cannot do anything with them. I cannot move them to the 
real catalogue. I cannot remove them. I can select "Add biblio" on a menu, but 
that doesn't lead me anywhere either.

The "Manage staged records" section is empty.

I've managed to remove all the records in the reservoir by fiddling with a 
database cleanup cron job, but that removed them. The public catalog remained 
empty.

I'm stymied.

This is very basic, and I can't get it to work, so I presume I'm doing it wrong.

I hope some of you can help me out.

Thanks,
René Seindal
