[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Results list of the "Call Number (Shelf Browse)" list

Mon Feb 23 10:47:23 EST 2015

Colleagues,

Because of all the interest expressed in this thread I have created the
following wishlist bug.

Create a “list view” for Call Number (Shelf Browse) results lists.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1424690

Create a list display results screen, which is similar in appearance to
other Evergreen search results screens, for the Call Number (Shelf Browse)
search. Each title retrieved should display at least the following data
elements. Call Number, Title, Author, and Publication Date.

Please be encouraged to add your thoughts and comments.

Don
