Nicole, here are my brief notes about how to use; let me know if you need them
expanded.

Create authorized values of type LOC named PROC and CART, with whatever
descriptions you want (e.g., In Processing and Shelving Cart).  Set the new
system pref NewItemsDefaultLocation to the processing code (PROC).  Create
items with their desired final shelving location.  These newly catalogued items
will be temporarily set to the PROC location and will display with whatever
description PROC has. The original location code entered at item creation is
stored in the new items column 'permanent_location', for future use.  Items
will stay in the PROC location until they are checked in.

To have those items then move to the shelving cart, with the new system pref
InProcessingToShelvingCart turned on, check in those newly-created items.  They
will be moved to the location code of CART and display with whatever
description CART has.  A cron job script runs at specified intervals to age
items from CART to the permanent shelving location. (For example, an hourly
cron entry of cart_to_shelf.pl --hours 3 where --hours is the amount of time an
item should spend on the cart before aging to its permanent location.)

If the new syspref ReturnToShelvingCart is turned on, any newly-checked-in item
is also automatically put into the shelving cart, to be covered by the same
script run.  Checkins with confirmed holds will not go into the shelving cart. 
If items on the shelving cart are checked out, the cart location will be
cleared.
