[Koha] barcodes not visible in OPAC

[Elaine Bradtke]

I don't know where he was seeing them, then.  It doesn't display in
the MARC view either.  Some of the records have the number in an
ownership history note.  But that only applies to special collections.
Sorry to raise a red herring if it never was displayed. . .
