Unfortunately, it looks like your previous ILS catalog didn't support 
permalinks. I can't see the call number display from that link.

Sure, anything's possible. Having discussions like this one is a great 
way to get consensus around a shared vision. As with anything in 
open-source software, of course, it helps if you have a developer who is 
willing to work on the shared vision or the funds to hire a developer.

For what it's worth, MassLNC got a quote to implement this - 
http://masslnc.cwmars.org/node/2590 - a couple of years ago, but decided 
not to implement it. I would be willing to share the details of the 
quote with anyone who is interested in implementing it, but, by this 
time, I'm sure the numbers in it have expired.

Have a nice weekend!

That is not what is cool.   Scroll to the very bottom of the screen and there is a little link for an image of the actual book location on a map.   The blue highlighted region / shelf on the map is where the book is.   Nice.
