I'd point you first to the manual page for customizing this 
particular display.  The page on how III tokens work might help as well.

The itemcallno token is valid in the briefcit.html file (used for 
record browse results displays), but not the individual bib record 
display.  Item record information on bib_display.html is called using 
the items token, but the result is a table with information from all 
item records.  As mentioned in another reply, the only way to get 
specific values out of this table is by using Javascript.

FWIW, you can use your favorite text or HTML editor to edit these 
files; Web Master mode in the Millennium client is not a requirement.
