--- Comment #28 from Martin Renvoize <martin.renvoize at ptfs-europe.com> ---
I'm not entirely happy that this is built to only work with biblionumbers in
reality.

I think it would be significantly more adaptable in the future if we add a
field to the database that maps the combination of 003 + 001 into an indexed
unique field and did the find against that.  That would mean that if your
library happens to maintain 001 = biblionumber (as is the assumption here I
believe) it'll all still work, but it will also work if your library uses local
001's or remote 001 and 003's.  It'll likely need tweaking as we learn of other
schemes but that feels the most forward thinking approach I can come up with.

Thoughts?
