Maybe more a "special case" rather than "major weakness" ... so ...
For just one example that is likely common, let's a book, or older issues
of a periodical move from the normal part of the library to an "Archives"
location that is more dense, and maybe climate controlled for preservation.
Maybe it's "common" -- we certainly deal with exactly this type of
situation, and use MARC21 952$7 (somewhat successfully for us, maybe not
exactly your challenge?)
However, if that doesn't meet your needs, and as Katrin said: "library
... item types only. Locations cannot be used" So there are a couple of
potential solutions:
- You could have a "library" -- you might want to call
"climate_controlled_holdings" (we call it "rare book room") where the
rules can be a tad different
- "item types" could be an option. When you transfer a periodical
to your new holding area, just call it a "protected periodical" instead
of "periodical" at the same time as giving it a new location code/name.

The circulation rules for those items might be different, but the type of
the item hasn't changed, only the location.
Is there a feature request I can vote for or bugzilla # I can track to
watch for this?

Hi Joel,
at the moment circulation conditions can be tied to combinations of
library, patron category and item types only. Locations cannot be used.

Is it possible to have a circulation rule that targets location? In the
past, we've had a diarrhea of item types to encode both a location and
the
kind of item, and this really isn't ideal. We'd like to revise our
circulation rules to target locations, and therefore simplify our item
types.
