All right, thank you for your answer David. I understand better. So it could 
work but it’s more usual to use de separate digital library.
Is there any examples of libraries which use koha with a 856$u to manage a 
digital collection ?

Thanks for clarifying. 

In practice, I think most people use Koha with  a separate digital library 
(e.g. Greenstone), and use various methods to import the digital library’s 
metadata into Koha.

Since Koha 3.22, you are able to upload files in Koha and attach them to 
metadata records via the 856$u. If you go into the MARC Bibliographic 
Frameworks and change the 856$u plugin to “upload.pl” for your desired 
framework, you’ll notice a “tag editor” when you’re cataloguing with that 
framework. If you click on that, it will let you upload files. 

You may need to set the “upload_path” in koha-conf.xml, but I’m not sure. That 
might already be provided with your particular  Koha installation. The files 
you upload will be stored in that “upload_path” directory on your Koha server. 
A link will be added to your MARCXML record, and people will be able to 
download the file using that link.

It’s not as full featured as an actual digital library, but it could 
theoretically work. 

If you set up Koha to be an OAI-PMH repository, that link to the file would be 
in the metadata.

I have a digital library (metadatas + documents, mostly images). My question is 
: can I manage this collection in my koha ILS, mixed with my traditional 
lending library collection. And produce a OAI harvester with that collection.
For example, can koha be used as greenstone ? Or do I need to use koha WITH 
greenstone for my purpose ?
I still don't know if my question is understandable...

Hi Florence, 

I'm afraid that I don't understand your question. 

What do you mean by "Can Koha be used to manage a digital library"? 

Are you asking if Koha can show metadata records from a digital library? Or are 
you asking if Koha can add/update/delete records in a digital library? Or both? 
Or something else? 

I'm currently working on an OAI-PMH harvester for Koha, but the sole intent at 
the moment is to harvest metadata records from other systems and import them 
into Koha.
