Host library management system (LMS) shelving locations in ReShare represent your library’s shelving locations. ReShare allows you to manage these shelving locations by setting supplying priorities across various shelving locations, blocking shelving locations from lending as a whole, and configuring overrides to block certain Host LMS location/shelving locations from lending.

...

If you use the Z39.50 auto-responder to reply to requests AND your LMS returns a value in the shelvingLocation field, ReShare will automatically pull in the name of each LMS shelving location provided and store it in the Host LMS shelving locations table. This happens in real time as requests are placed. Shelving locations are given a supplying priority of 0 when initially added to the Host LMS shelving locations table.

NOTE: Several library management systems do not return shelving location values in their Z39.50 response so it may be possible that this table does not get auto-populated for your tenant.

Sierra, Voyager, Horizon and Koha systems are known to output the location+shelving location data as a combined value output in the Host LMS location.

Manually

If you do not use the Z39.50 auto-responder to reply to requests AND you wish to designate a shelving location value when marking a request “will supply” you can manually add a new shelving location to the host LMS shelving locations table.

NOTEWORTHYNOTE:Although Host LMS shelving locations can be added manually when you use the Z39.50 auto-responder to reply to requests, it is recommended that users allow the auto-responder to automatically add the shelving locations to the host LMS shelving locations table to guarantee that the value added to the Shelving location code field is exactly as it is returned from Z39.50.
