<div dir="ltr"><div>In my initial testing, it looks like we have finally gotten past the problem of the OPAC not being able to be open in the same browser as the staff client at the same time, so we can actually have the OPAC open in one tab and the staff client open in another tab. (Woo hoo!)</div><div><br></div><div>Some things I would suggest:<br>- Make author into a link<br>- Add 'View All Formats and Editions' link <br>- Add link or button to actually open the record in the full OPAC in a new tab or window where everything will be functional rather than (or in addition to) the embedded Patron

,but also reference, readers advisory, collection development, working on course reserves, booklists, displays, etc., and in all of these functions, it's not always as simple as "find a record, add an item" or "find a record, place a hold," etc. Staff use the links in the catalog to navigate around between related records, just like patrons do (actually, probably more than patrons do.) So they click on the author's name to see other works by the author, they follow the subject heading links to find related works, they click on the "View other formats and editions" to see what other versions of the title they have that may work for their patron or their project, and they click on the links for electronic resources for all the same reasons.</div><div>

</div><div><br></div><div>It's not the embedded TPAC itself that's integral to so many staff workflows, it's the functionality that is only found there -- how can we bring this into the Angular Catalog?
