Thinking aloud, the current workstation for a staff login sets the default
selected library in most OU selectors in the staff interface, but it
doesn't change the set of libraries / working locations that the user has
permissions for. In the context of somebody doing acquisitions for multiple
systems, it occurs to me that it might be handy to have a mode where the
user can voluntarily specify that they only want to see stuff related to
their workstation's OU (or the system that the OU belongs to) as a way of
reducing confusion when they're explicitly working for System A (as opposed
to the other systems that they may do acq for).

Regards,

Galen
