[Evergreen-general] Ways to handle shelving location names?

[Erica Rohlfs]

Good Afternoon Olivia,

Some consortia have a standardized naming convention that all member
libraries must try to fold into - but the locations themselves remain built
at the system / branch levels. There will, of course, be libraries that
don't use certain locations and some that still need specialized locations
within this uniform list.

I do want to mention that there is a carousel type of Newest Items by
Shelving Location that may also affect how you create shelving locations.

Thank You,
Erica
