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

Wed Jan 21 10:16:59 EST 2015

I forgot about the slimpac… This is very close, in terms of display, and I 
could see with tweaking where it would be visually what we would need. I don’t 
know how Evergreen handles LCC numbers so I don’t know if shelflisting rules 
are already in place or if they would have to be scoped out.

This would also be a very handy way to check if the correct cover art is 
associated with a title while you were verify call numbers.

Thanks, Mike!

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.

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

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)

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.
