I suspect I have not quite got the mapping right between the CSV file fields and Marc file fields. Is there any howto on this sort of thing- especially for a non-librarian like me as most of the librarian terms go straight over my head! ;-)

For every item attached to a record, you want a single 952 field. This
contains things like barcode, location, and so forth.

To know where each thing should go, I always refer to this wiki page:
