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

[Gislaine.Hamelin at statcan.gc.ca]

What Elaine said ☺

Thanks Elaine for the detailed response. This is exactly the information to describe ‘a real shelf list’ that answers my hasty post. Our cataloguers have been referring to an outdated shelf list from a previous system to classify certain publications to ensure call numbers are being created properly.

We would love to see this feature also!

Found a few images of the different ILS’s shelflisting functionality ---

http://www.lsuc.on.ca/For-Lawyers/Manage-Your-Practice/Research/Cataloguing-Request-Manual-for-County---District-Law-Libraries/#shelflists

http://tualatints.pbworks.com/w/page/9224546/Assigning%20Dewey (scroll down to image from Polaris)

http://www.tulane.edu/~techserv/shelflist.html (again, scroll down for images. This is Tulane’s instructions for shelflisting, if you want an idea of what many academic catalogers have to do to assign a call number)

https://staff.lib.ncsu.edu/confluence/display/MNC/Institute+of+Textile+Technology+%28ITT%29+Thesis (scroll down to section Shelflisting the Cataloging Calculator Author Cutter and click on images)

A real shelflist would display call number, title, author, publisher, edition, and pub date in a format that indicates where the call number you wish to assign  falls within the list of titles on the shelf (shelflisting from a cataloging perspective). The cataloger can then easily scan the surrounding titles to make sure the call number is correct, isn’t duplicated, and follows shelflisting local practice. From this standpoint, the shelf list in Evergreen isn’t real – it doesn’t provide a cataloger with enough information to properly assign a call number. Since many public libraries don’t have the complex shelflisting rules that academics have, and we don’t care if we use the same call number over and over and over again, the lack of real shelflisting functionality in Evergreen wasn’t an issue until more academic libraries came on board. Having good shelflisting capability will allow Evergreen to continue to appeal to a broad spectrum of libraries.

Can you define what constitutes real in this feature set?

I like having multiple ways to look at the same info, so a list view would be a great addition.

What I'd REALLY like is a single-row horizontal widget that you can scroll back and forth so it shows the books in question as if they were lined up on an actual shelf.
