Good Afternoon Olivia, Some consortia have a standardized naming convention that all member libraries must try to fold into - but the locations themselves remain built at the system / branch levels. There will, of course, be libraries that don't use certain locations and some that still need specialized locations within this uniform list.
I do want to mention that there is a carousel type of Newest Items by Shelving Location that may also affect how you create shelving locations.
