Where does it come from? How is it used? In the MARC/Koha cross reference document on http://www.koha.org/wiki=20 (which I realize is woefully out of date) the "itemnumber" field references=20 MARC tag 890, subfield "c", which, as far as I can tell is not used=20 elsewhere in Koha. In fact, neither MARC21 nor UNIMARC define tag 890 at=20 all (see http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ and=20 http://www.ifla.org/VI/3/p1996-1/sec-uni.htm for tag definitions under=20 MARC21 and UNIMARC, respectively). I have tried to put together a cross reference spreadsheet based not only=20 on the cross reference document noted above, but also by reference to=20 fields defined in Koha. Any information I can get on this or related questions will be appreciated.
