Adding a link to the results of the community survey at https:/
The overwhelming consensus was that we consistently use one term to describe items/copies and shelving locations/copy locations. Although not as overwhelming, a significant majority also indicated that we should consistently use the same term for call number/volume.
I have created a collab branch as a first attempt at updating these terms:

I have also loaded the branch on a test server at https:/
Login is admin / evergreen123.
I'm sure there are places where I an update may not have been needed or places where I missed a replacement. In particular, there were some places where I struggled with the use of call number of holding.
I tried to use holding whenever we referred to copies and volumes, such as the 'Add Holdings' actions on the record page. However, there are places, such as the holdings view, where we have actions that look like this:
- Add
- Items
- Call Numbers
- Call Numbers and Items
In this case, where there are add items and add call numbers options immediately preceding the next option, I thought it was more clear to the user to call it 'Call Numbers and Items" rather than Holdings. In this respect, we continue to have some inconsistency, since we use 'Add Holdings' in interfaces where this is the only action available for adding items/call numbers to a record.
In the volume/copy editor (now called holdings editor), we used to have Hide Volume/Copy Details button that hides the area with call number details, barcodes and parts. I renamed it Hide Holdings Details, but this feels wrong since we are still showing item-specific information.
Anyway, I welcome any feedback to the current implementation or updates to the collab branch.
