This sounds like the system is not used to manage *local* copies
anyway, so you'd be free to abuse the AV field for this purpose. And
it also sounds like the call number (or whatever system applies)
should be student-readable rather than machine-readable, so it
wouldn't hurt to use a free text string describing the library,
branch, and call number.
