--- Comment #2 from Ian Palko <library at stas.org> ---
Owen,

I think you mistake my original commentary, or maybe I made a mistake.

It was the 952$c I was concerned with, not $a (Permanent Location) or $b
(Current Location.

We default 953$c to our "General Stacks" for new items. This means they don't
go to PROC at all.

What I would like it to set an override for the shelving location, when
creating a new item, so I can easily add Reference books or Periodicals to a
different set of shelves in our library.

As it stands now, when I catalog any book it gets the shelving location
"General Stacks". If I choose a different shelving location when cataloging, I
still get "General Stacks". This means for a set of Reference items or Serials,
I have to add the items, then go back and bulk edit the whole batch I just
added to change the location to "Reference Stacks" or "Periodical Stacks".

That is not a great burden, but easily is forgotten by my catalogers. One more
step, you know.

It would be much easier to be able to choose the shelving location when adding
an item, and if none is chosen, to default to the preference.

This would be especially helpful when using the "Add and Duplicate" feature to
enter large sets.

Perhaps given the way koha handles this, I'm just going about it wrongly,
though.
