[Koha] Item type does not show in OPAC - answer to your question 3

Greetings, Olugbenga Adara,

Since the programmer folk have tackled your more difficult technical
questions (especially with the important note on your question 2), I thought
I could handle question 3.

NR = Not Repeating.

This is standard Library of Congress/et al. notation for a field that can
occur only once in a valid MARC record.

Hope that helps a bit. Good luck with your installations.

Cheers,
