[Koha] System generated field 001 control number

[Hernandez, Heather]

Hi, Pablo--

I'm not really sure what you're asking--we use the 001 for a unique
bibliographic control number, which for us is the OCLC record number.

Are you saying that you wish Koha could automatically generate a unique
control number in the 001?  Would you use this differently from the Koha
record number in the 999 $c field?  (That, for us, is the unique Koha
record number, as opposed to what we think of as the inter-system "control
number" for that title--the OCLC record number.)

By the way, I've read the document at
http://manual.koha-community.org/current/en/catguides.html as a cheat sheet
particular to the American Numismatic Society provided as an example, but
not as a procedure applicable for every library, but maybe I've got that
wrong!

I hope this is helpful!  Cheerio!
