Unless your MARC frameworks are heavily customized, the Koha biblionumber
can be found in the 999$c of the MARC record as retrieved from the OAI-PMH
endpoint, assuming that the metadataPrefix is set to marc21 or marcxml. If
the harvester is only using oai_dc, the numeric biblionumber is part of the
record identifier (e.g., in your case, for OAI-PMH ID yuoai:2401, the
biblionumber is 2401).

Regards,

Galen
