    Question

    What is the logic that governs which tables Voyager Item data are stored in?

    Answer

    The general guideline is that human-readable public information about items is in the MFHD_ITEM table (except barcodes, which are in the ITEM_BARCODE table), while generally speaking, internal/staff data about items are in the ITEM table (for example: number of pieces, whether it's on Reserve, spine label, and lots of circulation-related info).

    For more information about the tables and fields, see the Class Diagrams found here: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Voyager/Product_Documentation/Voyager_Data_Dictionaries_and_ER_Diagrams
