I tried mapping the koha value items.barcode to marc 20a (isbn) but that does not seem to do the trick. We currently </div><div>do not have barcodes on our books and were planning to just add them through z39.50 as much as we could by scanning the isbn number and using this for cataloging. </div><div><br></div><div>* can anyone tell me how to make sure that the "item barcode:" that is asked when checking out is the same as the isbn number?</div><div>* would you for any reason advise against using the isbn code and, if necessary, have several versions of the same book like this? </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>We are a pretty small library for a research institute and not a public library so our collection is "limited". </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>thank you!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Klaas</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div>
