[Koha] Data being stored in incorrect fields

[Stephen Hedges]

Mike -

First of all, it sounds like you want to use US MARC, so be sure that your
"marcflavour" in Parameters/System Preferences is "MARC21."

Do the tag descriptions and numbers look correct when you are adding the
biblio (addbiblio.pl)?  But then they look wrong when you try to edit the
added biblio?  Or is there something else you're seeing that indicates
that the data has been stored with the wrong tags?
