Hi

In order to solve this problem, you have to audit your base to know if
you can have different itemtypes 995$z for a biblio.

If it would be the case, then you would have IMHO (but Joshua or more
US-MARC professionnal could tell you) to create as many biblios as
different itemtypes you have in for one and store them..

It it is not the case, "all you have to do" is take field 995$z value,
delete subfield 995$z and add the good itemtype subfield with the value
you stored to the marcrecord.

Therefore, you have to modify bulkmarcimport.pl
Anyone having a better idea ?
HTH.
