We try to avoid adding system level shelving locations, but if there is a reason to do so, we will. Every few years we'll see if several instances of a shelving location are in use in different systems and consolidate it into a shared <span style="display: inline !important; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class="ContentPasted1">shelving

if your policies are set up for a defined set of shelving locations (like fine free for juvenile shelving locations) and you're getting materials from elsewhere that aren't your shelving locations. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
We've been having some internal discussions around handling an increasingly large number of shelving locations across our consortium (over 1300 now), and wanted to ask you all for your thoughts & perspective.<br>
<br>
How do you all handle shelving locations? Do you have a set standardized list/a list of set options for libraries to choose from? Do you add new location names according to library request? Other ways you might handle locations?<br>
<br>
And what are the pros & cons of handling things that way vs. other ways?<br>
<br>
Any thoughts you can share would be very appreciated!!<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
<br>
Olivia<br>
