[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 2.5.2 Subject Browse Index

[Donald Butterworth]

Thanks for the great response Mike!

For the subject browse, I'm not yet familiar enough with authority record
links in Evergreen to know if this is viable solution. There are an
incredible number of subject permutations which would make it impossible to
anticipate every possible subject that would be legitimate.

Is there any support out in Evergreen Land for making option two the
default? We really are out of step with the rest of the library community.
I can't think of another library system that has a subject browse index,
that doesn't include the entire subject phrase.

For the series browse, I'm pretty sure we didn't do anything special to
make it appear. It just show up after the upgrade ... which is real good.

Is there any support in Evergreen Land to include Series Browse as a
default that excludes the subfield "v" as part of the indexing?
