[Koha] How to use Item Type ?

[Joy Nelson]

Satish-
Yes you can use multiple itemtypes on one bibliographic record.  Both of
the options you list would work in your situation.  The benefit of having
two itemtypes is that it may be more clear to your users that one is
REFERENCE and the other is a 'normal' BOOK.
