Having a second call number field is indeed plausible, although since the 952$j is currently mapped to a field in the Koha item record that can only store a true/false value, not a location string, some tweaking of the MARC frameworks would be required in your case.

Besides being able to display the box location, do you need to be able to search on it or include it in reports?

Regards,

Galen
