Hi!

These are home branch and holding branch internally. It seems like most of what you are talking about here is the Shelving Location.
Yes. My question is mainly: how do I tell, also to patrons in the OPAC but also me if I explain the OPAC to a new patron, where to go for an item. E.g. if it has been requested and is prepared for some patron another one will not find it in the shelves, so IMHO it is a good idea to show in OPAC that it is in a different location. (Currently, we add a temporary location like `Library Desk Hamburg` or `Library Desk Zeuthen` in this case.)
I was recently looking at Shelving location actually, and this was the thing the librarian who wanted it mentioned, how to show the shelving location on the OPAC. I found there are a couple relevant system preferences. OpacLocationOnDetail : controls if shelving location is shown in the same column as one of the branch fields, or in its own column, or is not shown. This also mentions the item_shelving_location column in the table settings administration page, in the OPAC group, in the "holdingst" table. (Make sure it is unchecked so it is not hidden.) OpacAdvancedSearchTypes and AdvancedSearchTypes : controls whether the shelving location is presented in a tab group on the search page with the item types. The other field that can be in that tab group is Collection. ...
