[Koha-devel] biblioitems.place & item location (Call Number ?)

[paul POULAIN]

Hi,

I try to figure what biblioitems.place field is done for & I can't find.
I also try to find where is the "location" (Call Number ?) of a given 
item is hidden in items table & i can't find neither. It may be stored 
in biblioitems (biblioitems.classification) table, but it's a poor 
choice imho, as 2 differents items can be located in 2 differents places.
So I think we lack a field in items table. If you confirm we do, i'll 
rename "bulk" field to CN & modify OPAC accordingly.

Other way to say this : I think Koha works fine if location is found 
with dewey or another classification number, but NOT when you have a 
library with a "strange" location method (like the one i'm working on at 
the moment...)
