The biblionumber can be used to match on if reloading records. I have exported MARC records, made some mass changes, and then reloaded the changed records by matching on the biblionumber. (Match points 10, if points > 5 then go.) Worked well. I have even loaded new records by assigning a biblionumber that I know had been deleted in Koha. They loaded fine and assumed the biblionumber that I assigned. Steve Sowder Systems Librarian sowder@andrews.edu Andrews University On 10/29/2015 2:15 PM, Chris Cormack wrote:
Hi Tim
You could edit either the .tt file or make a custom XSLT file to do that.
But please do not make the mistake that was made with MARC and give a machine used value any human significance. The biblionumber is the primary key on a database row to allow Koha to identify a biblio. It should not be given any human significance, accession numbers, control numbers etc play that role for humans.
Hope this helps

Is there an easy way to get the biblionumber of a record to display somewhere on the "normal" view for a record in the staff interface? Or would it require an actual programming change?
As it is, it displays in the URL in the browser navigation window, but I would like to be able to print out a record with it showing on the printout.
Thanks,
Tim
