Which box can I use without the content being displayed in a bibliography of any style of reference?

I have added all the books, journals etc. I have on my shelves into my Zotero library. Because I want to know where I can find these sources on my shelves, I have noted this in the box “Location in archive”. However, in some cases this is displayed in a bibliography—and it’s completely unclear to me in which cases this happens. So my question is: which box/field can I freely use without the risk of this text being displayed in any bibliography using any style of reference?

If I use “American Anthropological Association”, this happens to articles in academic journals (text displayed before page numbers), books and book chapters (text displayed before place/publisher). If I use “The Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition (author-date)”, this happens to articles in magazines and interviews (text displayed at the very end). If I use “American Psychological Association 6th edition”, this does not happen at all.

    AAA and Chicago Manual are more typically used for archival sources, which is why that's generally included. APA isn't commonly used (I'm not sure they even have guidelines), so the info doesn't get included.

    The Rights field isn't used in any citation style.

    Thanks, this really helps. By the way, do you know whether the "Extra" field used in any citation style?

    Some, yes, but not very many and none of the major styles.
