[Koha] Item type does not show in OPAC - Question 1 again

[Rachel Hamilton-Williams]

Hi Olugbenga

I'm not sure if you have had this answered already, but you need to go 
into your system preferences and setup the itemtypes to match the ones 
coming accross from your old system.

So if you have itemtypes that are

BK =  Book

Set up one the same and the itemtype will display.
