--- Comment #13 from Helen Jones <[email protected]> ---
I have been struggling with bound-withs in Koha. The systems that I have worked
with previously had a function whereby you could attach multiple bib records to
one item record. The item displayed with each bib record, so if the item was
borrowed, the fact that it was on loan was immediately obvious no matter which
bib record you were looking at. If there is only one item, the unique barcode
is not a problem. 

Could this functionality be developed in Koha? From my point of view, it would
solve all the issues that I have with the current workflow:

1. The item is not displayed in the OPAC with the bib records for the
subordinate items, which is baffling to anyone actually trying to find the
publication (this is in Bugzilla but does not seem to have been solved:
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=29606). 

2. We are part of Library Hub Discover (UK) and there, the subordinate records
do not appear at all

3. Creating a host record for unrelated items is often quite difficult if the
items are not thematically linked

You can of course squeeze everything into one record with lavish usage of 505
and 700 + $t but if you have a lot of items in the bound-with, records like
this can quickly become very messy.
