How would I add an item to that drop down list for shelving location when adding items?

Up to Table of Contents

This FAQ applies to: 3.0, 3.1

When entering an item I would like to choose a shelving location that is not in the drop down box for c-Shelving location in the edit Item form. (I believe it is the MARC 952 c field). How would I add an item to that drop down list?

Go through System Administration interface. You will find Authorized Values link. There you can see and add codes for almost all values showing up in drop down boxes used in editor of bibliographic and item data. For your particular case you need LOC.

Exploring more into your frameworks will give you the ability to control the behavior of editor for bib end item data. You can see and set up authorized values for every MARC field.
