We have shelves for new materials, and item location codes for these ("new mysteries," "new fiction," "new DVDs," and lots more). Moving items from the new shelves to the regular shelves is a chore, both in handling materials and in knowing (and selecting) what location to change them to. It would be great if you could just get into a function in Sierra that would change the current item location (the "new" one in my example) to the permanent item location (a new field that would be added with this idea, which would catalogers would populate when the item was cataloged). Then, in this function, anyone could just scan a stack of items, one after the other, without having to look up what the "not-new" location was or choose it or anything. A "permanent location" field could be used in other ways, maybe for displays.
