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

[Mike Rylander]

Thanks, Elaine.

Based on that, it seems that (with appropriate styling and integration) the
backend behind the old "slimpac" call number browse does, indeed, fill the
need and pretty well matches your definition of a shelf list.  Here are a
couple example URLs:

non-repeating area of call numbers
http://webby.evergreencatalog.com/opac/extras/browse/html/call_number/-/PZ6

area with repeating values
http://webby.evergreencatalog.com/opac/extras/browse/html/call_number/-/FIC

Of course, as a simple demo site, the cataloging and normalization of call
numbers is not what a cataloger would provide.  Note: the Display Fields
work that is pending inclusion would allow improved sorting of repeated
call number rows.
