No, that's not sufficient - it would also be necessary to update the 952 field in the MARC bib record corresponding to that item so that the item status change can be indexed. Running misc/maintenance/sync_items_marc_bib.pl periodically would do it, with some tweaking to update only the bibs whose items have been updated from Aeon. > Second, in order to generate the SQL query, something like "UPDATE items SET > onloan=2010-03-10 WHERE itemnumber=706," we'll need access to the itemnumber > from within the OPAC record in order to generate the OpenURL that Aeon uses > to generate requests.

It is not directly available in the search results, but (assuming you use the XSLT option), a small tweak of buildKohaItemsNamespace() C4/XSLT.pm and a change to the stylesheet would make it available. > On that note, does any documentation exist detailing bib/item data variables > like this that can be called from within Opac templates? I don't know of anything that systematically documents that, I'm afraid.
