Hi Liz and Barton, About "I think the most accurate long form representation is "Koha internal record number", as the biblionumber has nothing at all to do with MARC"
I received this feedback from Libraries Australia today : *MARC Field 035 $a - System Control Number : Koha Record Numbers* <> Every record should have one instance of MARC field 035 containing the current Koha record number before re-exporting. So simply call biblionumber <> "Koha record number"?
