As Koha popularity expands, we should consider switching to the 'de facto' standard for items data (949). The need was brought to my attention recently on an OCLC list where it was discovered that OCLC uses 952 for internal codes, and therefore, it can't be exported. So libraries using OCLC for cataloging, who want to manually add their items data to their records, download them from OCLC, and them upload into Koha, will have to use another tag for items data.
In my opinion, most "de facto" standards aren't worth the paper they're not written on. So, I ask:- 1. What other systems are using 949 for items? 2. Aren't all 9xx tags local use? http://www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/specrecstruc.html#local 3. Could an OCLC-MARC/Koha-MARC filter achieve the same thing?
