[Koha] Serial-Article Indexing

[Elaine Bradtke]

Home › Administration › System preferences> Cataloging preferences> Record
Structure > AlternateHoldingsField
AlternateHoldingsSeparator - we use the 942c  here.  This pulls the item
type (in this case Periodical article) from the 942c and displays it as
holdings if there is no item record attached.

Otherwise you do get the No items available note, which isn't that helpful
in the case of articles.
