That's probably the reference you need. You probably also want to put
the item codes in 942whatever (I forget the code). You can look up the
mappings that your system is using by going to Administration -> Koha to
MARC mapping.

As for what to put, when you defined your item types in Koha, you gave
each one a code. For example, 'B' -> 'Book', 'S' -> 'Serial'.
It's this code that should go in there.
