I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'book location in the library?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'shh one left out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'shh'+'one'+'left'='shhoneleft'
'shhoneleft' anagrammed gives 'ON THE SHELF'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for on the shelf that I've seen before include "Where you might find Emma" , "destined never to meet her beau?" , "Book here, perhaps" , "Despairing of a husband" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
