The biblionumber can be used to match on if reloading records. I have exported MARC records, made some mass changes, and then reloaded the changed records by matching on the biblionumber. (Match points 10, if points > 5 then go.) Worked well.

I have even loaded new records by assigning a biblionumber that I know had been deleted in Koha.
They loaded fine and assumed the biblionumber that I assigned.

Hi Tim

You could edit either the .tt file or make a custom XSLT file to do that.

But please do not make the mistake that was made with MARC and give a machine 
used value any human significance. The biblionumber is the primary key on a 
database row to allow Koha to identify a biblio.
It should not be given any human significance, accession numbers, control 
numbers etc play that role for humans.

Hope this helps

Chris

Is there an easy way to get the biblionumber of a record to display
somewhere on the "normal" view for a record in the staff interface? Or
would it require an actual programming change?

As it is, it displays in the URL in the browser navigation window, but
I would like to be able to print out a record with it showing on the
printout.

Thanks,

Tim
