Since we are talking about marking up library holdings displays... shelving location is almost always in the display because people are expected to go from the catalog to the shelf. Shelving location MAY be "West Branch." It also could be "Reference Desk" or "Periodicals room." The fact is that we don't get to choose what the shelving location means - it'll mean whatever the libraries putting out the data want it to mean. But I think it will always be there.

Do >> they really say "I want copy 2 because my friend told me the pages are >> cleaner?" I rarely see barcodes in displays, but it's not unusual to have a display of every copy. [See entry "University library = using Ex Libris?" to see an example with a barcode, which looks really weird to me, but it's real.] I'll see if I can find a good example with all copies showing for a single location. kc -- Karen Coyle kcoyle@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet
