[Evergreen-catalogers] Changing a shelf locations

[Andrea Buntz Neiman]

Hi John,

Scan all item barcodes that you want to change into a notepad (*.txt) 
file & save the file.  From Item Status Screen, select "upload from 
file" & import your file of barcodes.  Once it's finished, select all 
the items (ctrl + A) and then right-click to get "Edit item 
attributes".  Change location under the "Location/Collection" dropdown, 
click "Apply" and click "Modify Copies".

Not sure what the max item count is on this -- I've personally never 
tried more than about 50 items at a go.

The screen will refresh after the changes are made and will show the new 
location.

I would recommend doing this separately for each separate branch/owning 
library.

A.
