Not to my knowledge. > More than that, Koha is still generating malformed MARC records, and I > think it's a problem for an ILS which is MARC-compliant. It's not ideal, certainly, but Koha is using internally a format (i.e. MARC) that isn't really suitable for the twenty-first century. As far as malformed MARC records go, Koha's offenses are much less egregious than certain other ILSes'.
