[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] browser client update 2014-05-01 / feedback requested on catalog integration

[Hardy, Elaine]

Bill,



At one point, there was a list of missing features in the TPAC that the 
community wanted back. I am fairly sure the color coding of records was one 
of them. Was the list not transferred to Launchpad at some point if it is 
not being maintained? I have not been able to locate the list on the wiki..



I did

More thoughts on catalog integration...

- All the feedback I've received from our staff so far express a strong 
preference to keeping the catalog view that is in the staff client as close 
as possible to the public OPAC view.



Duly noted.




- Although you're not working on the cataloging phase yet, catalogers switch 
back and forth between the MARC view and the catalog view of a bib record 
when creating it / working on it to make sure it will display properly when 
patrons view it through the OPAC, so please keep that in mind.



Do we see this as materially different from having the MARC view open in one 
browser tab and the catalog view open in another?




- Staff say that in an older version of the staff client, there used to be 
visual cues on the search results to indicate when a bib record was hidden 
from the public view (because it had no copies attached, because all copies 
were lost or missing, etc.) so that staff could readily tell what they were 
seeing that patrons could not see. This was lost in one of the upgrades. Is 
that something that can be re-enabled for the browser client?



I would suggest opening a LP ticket for this, if there isn't already one, 
since it's (presumably) a feature that was lost with the move to TPAC.



Thanks, Terran.
