[aisle] Storage Books in Destiny?

[Renee Welch]

There's also the "Sub Location" found when you edit the title, first pg,
towards the bottom.  If you click OTHER you can create the sub location
name. I have books on special shelves like the Caudills and I will add the
sub location so it shows up on the search...You do have to teach your
students to click "see all" by the call # though.
