First, am I correct that updating the availability status of an item in the Koha Opac requires only that we update this field (items.onloan)?
No, that's not sufficient - it would also be necessary to update the 952 field in the MARC bib record corresponding to that item so that the item status change can be indexed. Running misc/maintenance/sync_items_marc_bib.pl periodically would do it, with some tweaking to update only the bibs whose items have been updated from Aeon.
I would be remiss if I didn't mention that (possibly with the use of a dummy patron record) it might also be possible to accomplish this using Koha's SIP2 interface. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt@gmail.com
