Before you start cataloging in Koha, you need to do some basic setup. Refer to the :ref:`Implementation checklist <implementation-checklist-label>` for a full list of these things. Most importantly, you need to make sure that your :ref:`MARC bibliographic frameworks <marc-bibliographic-frameworks-label>` are all defined the way you want. Once in the cataloging module you will not be able to add or remove fields and subfields, so your frameworks must be ready before you start cataloging.
You can also use OCLC cataloging services like `WorldShare Record Manager <https://www.oclc.org/en/worldshare-record-manager.html>`_ and `Connexion <https://www.oclc.org/en/connexion.html>`_ to send records directly in to Koha. For more information, see :ref:`OCLC Cataloging Services <oclc-cataloging-services-label>`.
Bibliographic records
In Koha, the bibliographic record contains the main information related to the material. This includes things like the title, author, ISBN, etc. This information is stored in Koha in MARC. By default, the record details page displays in the 'Normal' tab and shows the most important details of the record.
|bibliographicrecorddetails|
The 'Normal' tab of the record details page also shows which :ref:`MARC bibliographic framework <marc-bibliographic-frameworks-label>` was used to add the record.
|recorddetailframework|
Koha supports MARC21 and UNIMARC.
Once this information is saved, :ref:`item records <item-records-label>` can be attached to the bibliographic record.
Adding records
Records can be added to Koha via original or copy cataloging. You can also choose to use the basic or advanced cataloging interface for all of your work.
Staff members must have the :ref:`edit\_catalogue permission <permission-edit-catalogue-label>` (or the :ref:`superlibrarian permission <permission-superlibrarian-label>`) in order to be able to add bibliographic records.
To catalog a record using a blank template in the basic editor:
Click 'New record'
|catalogingbuttons|
The 'New record' button will open the default :ref:`bibliographic framework <marc-bibliographic-frameworks-label>`. If you want to use a different framework, click the small arrow to the right of the 'New record' button and choose the framework.
|newfromframework|
You can create or modify frameworks in the :ref:`Administration module <marc-bibliographic-frameworks-label>`.
To catalog a record using a blank template in the advanced editor:
Enable the :ref:`EnableAdvancedCatalogingEditor <EnableAdvancedCatalogingEditor-label>` system preference
