Not to bombard you with alternatives, but I would actually recommend
that you use a tool like MarcEdit's global change feature to move the
949s to 952 fields, then import the records.  While Brenden is correct
that you can change the Koha to MARC mapping, that's not enough to get
the item records indexed correctly.  If you're using Zebra, you would
have to edit records.abs.

Galen
