[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] [Evergreen-catalogers] Angular staff client catalog

Thu Sep 19 11:53:51 EDT 2019

One thing I like about it is the search screen...it combines the elements
of the basic search (particularly the formats built on various parts of the
MARC record) with the filters from the Advanced Search, based on the fixed
fields.

I'm glad to know that the search results are still a work in progress.
