[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Academic PAC flavor

[Michael Schell]

We have implemented a "Read More" feature in our test catalogue.  Here is a link to an example.  It uses the lightweight jQuery plugin readmore.js from here, and is super easy to setup and has some great options.  All it requires is that the [%- INCLUDE "opac/parts/record/contents.tt2" %] from the summary.tt2 be inside article tags like this:

<article>
      [%- INCLUDE "opac/parts/record/contents.tt2" %]
</article>

 I'm sure there are a lot of ways that this could be done but it works for us.

This eliminates the problem of clicking on a bar and finding it empty of content. It also would make it possible to keep the copy/item record data always visible on the screen without the need to scroll.

The feature sounds like a good idea. If implemented, consider using specific descriptive phrases like "View complete summary&#8221; or &#8220;View full contents&#8221; instead of repeating the same link text multiple times on one page.
