[Koha] Collections in Koha 3.x

[Owen Leonard]

Yes--or you can group together a bunch of different collections into 1
item type!

> So The collection = Adult Fiction
> Items types:
> FM = Mystery Fiction
> FR= Romance Fiction
> FW=Western Fiction

Whereas we have item type = Circulating
...with collection codes:
M = Mystery Fiction
PB = Romance Fiction
W = Western Fiction

We chose to set one item type because each collection has the same
circulating rules.

> And if so, whereabout in Koha admin do I set up the collections, and decide
> which item types belong to which collection.

Collection codes are authorized values.

First you have to set up all the different codes. I'm not sure if your
MARC framework will have already had a 952 subfield configured to pull
from the ccode authorized value? Our 952$8 is tied to ccode.
