Chris,
I mean the a - Permanent Location, c- Shelving Location, b- Current Location, and other item values.
The staging and importing screens offer options to create new items, but I can't find where I tell it which location and which shelving location to use.
They only create items if you have item data attached in the 952 field. So if you want to upload a bunch of records with items attached you need to add 952 fields to your records, 952a and 952b and 952c are the subfields for location, 952p is for barcode.
I can add items individually, but that's sort of painful.
If your MARC records don't have item information, that is really the only way to do it. I would recommend using a tool like MarcEdit to add item information to your marc records before importing them Chris
