Greetings!
This may not be the Best Way, but here's how I would do it. Esteemed
colleagues, please add corrections and improvements.
Create a MARC record for each document the same way you'd create one for any
book, journal, etc. Don't worry about the record being perfect and following
all the cataloging standards. As long as your users can find the record in
Koha, that's what really matters. What's important is probably the title (245),
author (100), maybe a few subject terms (650), year (260)--whatever you deem
useful.
If you want full-text access, put the files on a server somewhere and add the
URL to the 856$u field. You can make it behind your institution's firewall or
out in the open depending on what you want--talk to your IT department.
You can modify fields as you want--Koha is (literally) infinitely configurable.
I created something similar for our institution's local authors, which you can
see at medstarauthors.org. I took Medline records (a database of medical
citations), converted the records to MARC, and uploaded them to Koha. If we
have full-text access to the article, the URL goes in the 856$u field. If the
article as a DOI (digital object identifier), that goes in the 857$u. (You say
your catalog doesn't have an 857 field? Well mine does. Remember what I said
about infinitely configurable?)
We also have some files that are stored locally--the PDF versions of our
printed bibliography, among others. I tried to create a folder on our system
that could be accessed on port 81, but our IT department doesn't allow that.
(We're a hospital, and security has been much on their minds in the past few
years.) I created a separate server, but I know there's a way to store local
documents on Koha--I just can't remember how. It's in the documentation that
I'll read as soon as I get a few other tasks done.
Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me off-list if you'd like, especially
if this doesn't answer your question at all.

Good morning,
Need some help please . Or can someone please point me in the right direction
please.
I would like to start a repository for our staff thesis papers. How would I go
about setting up a repository in Koha? Any guidance would be wonderful!
Thank you so much.
