Great, that gives me a clue what I have to look for. I'll see what I can do.

It is usually not a big deal to retrieve additional information from the MARC
record by fairly simple modifications of the marc2ris.pl script. The question
is rather where to put that information. RIS does not have a field for call
numbers of the originating library. It is probably best to use one of U1-U5 or
M1-M3. I'll fiddle with the script as soon as time permits.
