Creating new shelving locations

  1. Click Administration.
  2. Click Local Administration.
  3. Click Shelving Locations Editor.
  4. Type the name of the shelving location.
  5. In OPAC Visible, choose whether you would like items in this shelving location to appear in the catalog.
  6. In Hold Verify,
  7. In Checkin Alert, choose whether you would like a routing alert to appear when an item in this location is checked in. This is intended for special locations, such as Display, that may require special handling, or that temporarily contain items that are not normally in that location.

    Note

    By default, these alerts will only display when an item is checked in, not when it is used to record an in-house use.

    To also display these alerts when an item in your location is scanned for in-house use, go to Administration > Local Administration > Library Settings Editor and set Display shelving location check in alert for in-house-use to True.

  8. If you would like a prefix or suffix to be added to the call numbers of every volume in this location, enter it.
  9. If you would like, add a URL to the URL field. When a URL is entered in this field, the associated shelving location will display as a link in the Public Catalog summary display. This link can be useful for retrieving maps or other directions to the shelving location to aid users in finding material.
  10. If you would like to override any item-level circulation/hold policies to make sure that items in your new location can’t circulate or be holdable, choose No in the appropriate field. If you choose Yes, Evergreen will use the typical circulation and hold policies to determine circulation abilities.
