To be fair, item types are actually used (from the business-logic POV) as a way to group bibliographic stuff to define rules. We might as well call item types... dunno... 'item sets' (i'm no sure only because I'm not a native english speaker). This is one of the first things I need to teach new users before doing the initial setup.
The material type is defined in the MARC headers. So technically, itemtypes are what you are looking for regarding how to define rules for different materials. I'm not closing any door, but it seems to me that it is not a trivial subject for discussion. I hope others weight in and give more points of view.
