[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] adding books and materials to library catalog

[Howard Canning]

No. I find the software interesting and just starting out learning it.  How
for example would I add
http://www.amazon.com/First-Course-Abstract-Algebra-Groups/dp/1482245523/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1425922030&sr=8-2&keywords=algebra+first+course+3rd+edition
to evergreen if it isn't a search result. What's the most basic approach.
Thanks
