The Shelving Control Number is defined the Library of Congress MARC 21 Format for Holdings Data for field 852 (https://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/hd852.html):
> 4 - Shelving control number > Item is shelved by a shelving control number, which is contained in subfield > $j (Shelving control > number). My interpretation of this statement is that the Shelving Control Number can be whatever you would like it to be. If you want "Display Department" to indicate the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard," then that's what it is.
