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

Wed Jan 21 13:39:32 EST 2015

All –

Beautiful!   Both of those look really like what I think most people (catalogers and regular patrons) would find useful.   Do you have a Dewey example?  Just to add some more icing on that cake.

  +1 for that.

  Thanks!

Jennifer

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 ---

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.
