Re: [Koha] Homebranch in biblio record

I'm looking for a way to put the indication of the homebranch (Library1 or Library2) in the biblio record, not only in the item of the record (like the 952 field).
For the logic of MARC (and Koha), the 'homebranch' is *not* a biblio attribute (the biblio is a description of a book that can be anywhere in the world); your copy of it (the item) is in your library and recorded as such at 952$a If (for whatever reason) you need it for temporary import purposes, you could use 'notes' 500$a but this is a long way from the intent and normal usage of MARC21. Maybe you should explain *why* you want it in the biblio? You might also want to refer to the logic schema of Koha at <http://schema.koha-community.org> Paul
Hi Paul, thank you very much for your reply. I'd like to have a nomarc field that indicates the homebranch for this reason: my library holds a number of miscellaneous books in which different books are binding together. In order to connect them, I use the function "link to host item"; in this way when the miscellaneous book is checked out, any book contained in it results as checked out. However I realize that if a user selects a specific library when he searches in the catalogue opac, he doesn't finds the records that are linked to host item as they don't have a specific item themselves. For this reason I'm looking for a way to connect that kind of biblio records to the library that holds them.
