If I understand and re-say what you propose :
* creating a BRANCH table that lists the possibles locations for an 
item. The branch field should change often.
* creating a COLLECTION table that lists the possibles collections for 
an item. The collection should not change (or very rarely).

If i'm right, i think it's a very good idea.

anyway, g'morning everybody, i'm back from holidays,
I've almost finished reading my 300 mails (just 50koha-related to 
go...). this week i might have only a few days (thursday and friday) on 
koha, but then it will be 4-5 days a week for at least 2 months i think.
and as i've seen my librarians during august, i've a lot of ideas for 
MARC stuff ;-)
