--- Comment #1 from Owen Leonard <oleonard at myacpl.org> ---
Item type is different than material type. Item type is a value which you can
define according to your library's needs. It might match the material type of
your item, or it might be used to define circulation rules. How you use it is
up to you.

Material type is a setting defined by the MARC standard:

You can select from existing values but cannot create your own.

I hope this helps explain it. If you have further questions about this or other
features in Koha please post to the Koha general mailing list:
