I can confirm that we use the branch short name in subfield b. As Jason 
mentioned, the 852 export format specifies that the owning library 
should be in the first subfield b and the circulation library should be 
in the 2nd subfield b. In our case, our records always use the same 
branch for the owning and circulation library. Therefore, we would just 
enter "b" for both the circulation library and owing library fields of 
our local import profiles in Evergreen. With that adjustment, our vendor 
records can  include the branch short name in just one subfield b.
