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

Janet,

That's a good (and important) point to bring up.  The question is this: are
we talking about a virtual shelf or a call number listing?  If the former,
they'd be duplicated (one version of the callnumber per bib with items at
or below the search location), and if the latter, they could be collapsed
(count of bibs with items at or below the search location using that string
as the callnumber label).  The former supports book jackets and shelf
listing (approximately), the latter is just an index of labels.

There's room for both, IMO.

Thoughts?
