For Voyager, I've found this to be a useful algorithm for getting accurate 
location information:

if item record
then
 if item temp_location not null
 then
   use item temp_location,
 else
   use item perm_location
else
 use mfhd location


Ah, true, for the online catalog you might actually want to display
both items of information.  (IE temporarily shelved at reserves,
normally found in Vet Med).
