my $orders = $biblio->orders();
Returns a Koha::Acquisition::Orders object
my $active_orders = $biblio->active_orders();

$borrower must be a Koha::Patron object
my $bookable =
$biblio->check_booking( { start_date => $datetime, end_date => $datetime, [ booking_id => $booking_id ] } );
Returns a boolean denoting whether the passed booking can be made without clashing.
Optionally, you may pass a booking id to exclude from the checks; This is helpful when you are updating an existing booking.
$biblio->can_be_transferred({ to => $to_library, from => $from_library })
Checks if at least one item of a biblio can be transferred to given library.
This feature is controlled by two system preferences: UseBranchTransferLimits to enable / disable the feature BranchTransferLimitsType to use either an itemnumber or ccode as an identifier for setting the limitations
Performance-wise, it is recommended to use this method for a biblio instead of iterating each item of a biblio with Koha::Item->can_be_transferred().
Takes HASHref that can have the following parameters: MANDATORY PARAMETERS: $to : Koha::Library OPTIONAL PARAMETERS: $from : Koha::Library # if given, only items from that # holdingbranch are considered
Returns 1 if at least one of the item of a biblio can be transferred to $to_library, otherwise 0.
my $pickup_locations = $biblio->pickup_locations({ patron => $patron });
Returns a Koha::Libraries set of possible pickup locations for this biblio's items, according to patron's home library and if item can be transferred to each pickup location.
Throws a Koha::Exceptions::MissingParameter exception if the mandatory parameter patron is not passed.
my $bool = $biblio->hidden_in_opac({ [ rules => $rules ] })
Returns true if the biblio matches the hidding criteria defined in $rules. Returns false otherwise. It involves the OpacHiddenItems and OpacHiddenItemsHidesRecord system preferences.
Takes HASHref that can have the following parameters: OPTIONAL PARAMETERS: $rules : { <field> => [ value_1, ... ], ... }
Note: $rules inherits its structure from the parsed YAML from reading the OpacHiddenItems system preference.

$host = $biblio->get_marc_host;
# OR:
( $host, $relatedparts, $hostinfo ) = $biblio->get_marc_host;
Returns host biblio record from MARC21 773 (undef if no 773 present).
It looks at the first 773 field with MARCorgCode or only a control
number. Complete $w or numeric part is used to search host record.
The optional parameter no_items triggers a check if $biblio has items.
If there are, the sub returns undef.
Called in list context, it also returns 773$g (related parts).
If there is no $w, we use $0 (host biblionumber) or $9 (host itemnumber)
to search for the host record. If there is also no $0 and no $9, we search
using author and title. Failing all of that, we return an undef host and
form a concatenation of strings with 773$agt for host information,
returned when called in list context.
my $host = $biblio->get_marc_host_only;
Return host only

my $biblio = Koha::Biblios->find($biblionumber);
$biblio->merge_with(\@biblio_ids);
This subroutine merges a list of bibliographic records into the bibliographic record.
This function DOES NOT CHANGE the bibliographic metadata of the record. But it links all
items, holds, subscriptions, serials issues and article_requests to the record. After doing changes
bibliographic records listed are deleted
