I was recently looking at Shelving location actually, and this was the
thing the librarian who wanted it mentioned, how to show the shelving
location on the OPAC.  I found there are a couple relevant system
preferences.

OpacLocationOnDetail : controls if shelving location is shown in the same
column as one of the branch fields, or in its own column, or is not shown.
This also mentions the item_shelving_location column in the table settings
administration page, in the OPAC group, in the "holdingst" table. (Make
sure it is unchecked so it is not hidden.)

OpacAdvancedSearchTypes and AdvancedSearchTypes : controls whether the
shelving location is presented in a tab group on the search page with the
item types.  The other field that can be in that tab group is Collection.
