There are ways to avoid nested scroll bars.  Following the example at
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34655/making-an-iframe-take-vertical-spaceI
created a sample page with a dummy header and the catalog within an
iframe:

https://bill-dev2.esilibrary.com/~berick/cat.html

The height of the iframe is calculated at load time and modified to match
the height of the loaded content.  It seems to work pretty well.
