Biblionumber refers to the unique identification number of a 
record in the biblio table in the database.  This table 
contains the most 'general' information about a particular 
title:  title, author.  biblioitemnumber *might* refer to the 
id number of a record in the biblioitems table, which contains 
the next level of information: isbn, publication year, number 
of pages.  It *could* also refer to 'biblio item number,' 
which would refer to the id of a record in the items table--
where the last level of detail is kept, with barcode number, 
branch code, etc.  It can be very confusing!

The NPL intranet templates for version 2.0 are CSS-based. 
There are also new CSS-based templates for the latest pre-
release version, developed by Paul and replacing the current 
default templates.
