[Koha] Locations and sublocations

[Joann Ransom]

Hi Lino,

I struggled with this too, and came up with entering 3 locations (which 
are physical buildings) and 4 locations (which are collections or 
departments within the actual buildings). So 7 altogether, a mixture of 
buildings, departments and 'virtual' locations.

Would love to hear other people's solutions as I am still quietly 
working through configuration before a data import and still have time 
to change..

cheers Jo.
