[Koha] 090 Fields

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

I guess what we have to analyze ... "is Koha doing something non standard 
that impacts the integrity of the MARC record? "  if so perhaps the non standard 
information needs to  be at the end of the record past where the MARC data is 
kept? if there is no area present perhaps one needs to  be created  as a 
'stash'

Just a thought....

> Hmmm.  Do you mean your existing MARC records use an 090 field?  Koha has
