Add shelf location to library holdings for each edition
We would like to have the option to include the shelf location for each item that is listed within each edition. It is much easier to identify when an item is, for example, a New item when a patron happens to be looking at holdings in this way.

Our consortium is in the process of implementing Vega Discover. It would be great to have the option to include shelf location AND collection in the edition information.
Use case:
In the attachment, these items are not located in the same collection, but that is not obvious based on how the results are displayed. The first option displayed is in the Young Adult collection, which we would be able to determine with the call number. The second option, with three items, is in the Juvenile Fiction collection, which does not have a signifier in the call number.
The only way to find this information is to click on the library name, which will not be intuitive for our patrons. They will go to edition information first, and then they might try the Find a copy option.

Doesn't this depend on your Location hierarchy settings (under Settings | Library defaults | Location hierarchy)? We have Level 1 as Branch and Level 2 as Shelf Location and thus that displays as expected. Maybe that doesn't work for Consortiums that have at least 3 levels?
