Katrin -- Thank you so much for responding. I'm a cataloger among
non-catalogers and I am just trying to make things as easy as possible for my
co-workers while following standard guidelines for minimum level cataloging. 

Unless I have a plug-in for the 001 and permit it to be filled in with a click
of the mouse, I will not be able to convince anyone to spend the time on it.
Some of our libraries are completely one-"man" operations.

Koha deviates in several significant ways from the ILS that I am accustom to,
including not having a good way to run reports requesting specific MARC fields.
Am I correct that I can run a report and find out how many records have a
specific MARC field, but the only way to find out the content of the field in a
report is to have the MARC field mapped to an authorized value?
