[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Need help understanding the basics

[Raymond Norton]

I apologize if this information is in the documentation. At the very 
least, I am having difficulty connecting the dots. In case it affects 
the specifics of response to my question, I am running a new Hardy 8.04 
vmware installation with a windows client rel_1_2_3_1, and am using a 
Marson Wasp Barcode Scanner.

I am am very green when it comes to understanding library systems, so I 
do not have any background knowledge to draw from when working with 
Evergreen.

I have three scenarios that I am working with, and would greatly 
appreciate step by step instructions to complete each task.

1. Steps for adding a paper back book that has a bar code on it into 
Evergreen.
2. Steps for importing information from Marc records from a free site 
using isbn numbers found on book we already own, or will purchase
3. Steps for adding a book to evergreen, and associating it to the bar 
code found on the book, or a new one we would adhere to it.

Maybe this would turn into a conversation not wanted on the list. If 
that is the case, it would be helpful if I could converse with someone 
off-list.


Thanks in advance!

Raymond
