Bug Description
Spinning this off from bug 1538691. In addition to the mixed use of copies and items in the client, we also see some mixed use of copy location versus shelving location. We should probably pick one and use it consistently in the staff client.
This is what I see looking at current tt2 files:
Shelving location is used in the holds pull list, in the copy editor (including the templates and the defaults tab), and the serials template editor.
Copy location is used in hold details, the transit list, item status detail view, serials receive, and the local admin interface (links to copy location groups, copy location order, and copy locations editor Dojo interfaces, all of which also use copy location).
Shelf location is used in the stock template for the pull list.
Most grids simply use Locations, which I think is fine since it conserves space.
As is the case with bug 1538691, rather than try to settle this question in LP, I think it might be best if we issue a survey to the community.

Adding a note that Shelving Location is used consistently in the public catalog. However, my question relates to what should be used in the staff client. IMO, the public catalog terminology should remain the same regardless of what we decide to do in the client.
