What I did was create a library for each campus location within the company, then under Authorized Values created locations for separate departments. Fortunately while the company has campus locations in several states, it uses the same terminology for departments within campus locations. The OPAC identifies materials by campus location on search results screens, then within the specific item, which campus department has the item. I made some modifications to locations once I had a few records to evaluate.

As our situation not atypicall, I'm sure some of you have faced the same problem So: we have several collections here, located for the most part in three places: library, departments and laboratories. Each of these locations is divided in several sublocations/collections. My problem is that all locations/sublocations/collections in Koha are at the same level: in an item, I could choose "Library" as a location, and a specific department as a sublocation - or the opposite, or any combination I can imagine - and it would be accepted. My question now: is there a way to create a hierarchy so that my Location menu contains only my three locations, and the Sublocation/collection shows only the collections available within this location? Or at least refuse an invalid combination? Thanks!
