The goals of the location system are to:
Model the organization’s structure clearly and accurately.
Support storing configuration information at the appropriate level of the organizational structure.
Allow libraries to establish policies for a location that apply to the organization’s components. This makes administration easier.
Support modeling relationships between parts of the organization.
Support consortial models.
The general idea is that a location’s setting or policy will automatically apply to the location’s children, unless the children override the setting.
Note
Only users with an OLE-PTRN Shelving Location Administrator or OLE-PTRN Location Administrator role may create and manage Locations.
The OLE Location document includes the Add/Edit Location tab. The system automatically enters data into both the Old and New sections in this tab. Selected data fields are available for editing.
