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

[Hardy, Elaine]

While I do agree that this would be good for patrons, catalogers would love 
to have a version of shelf browse that allows them to easily and quickly 
shelf list – place their call number in shelf list order to ensure they 
haven’t duplicated their number (where libraries don’t duplicate call 
numbers) and ensure they have it collocated correctly with other similar 
works in their collection. This view is better than the current grid for 
that; but, a browse list of call numbers and titles/authors would be better. 
I would love to see both.

Yes! That's exactly the usage that patrons would love to see with the shelf 
browser (IMHO).



There are some third party widgets (LibraryThing makes one I believe) and 
various javascript tutorials to do pretty / visual things like this with 
static booklists. It would be cool to extend the idea to a shelf browser.

Slightly different usage type, but TADL has something like that: 
http://catalog.tadl.org/. Theirs also happens to be the most user-friendly 
and inviting Evergreen catalog landing page out there, at least of the ones 
I’ve seen. KCLS also has something along those lines, but they are using 
BiblioCommons: http://kcls.bibliocommons.com/.
