[Holly Brennan]

That’s awesome, Mike! Thanks!

How do I find the number codes? Can you give me the database path?

Holly,

You can use the id of the shelving location with a "locations()" filter, like this:

http://catalog.ci.homer.ak.us/eg/opac/results?query=locations(187)&qtype=keyword&locg=4

That can be a comma-separated list, to include multiple locations

HTH,

I want to provide a link to all graphic novels for kids, so patrons can click the link on our website and go directly to a “pre-searched” page of catalog results.

In the past I have created this type of link with keyword searches and Copy Location Groups, but because the individual Shelving Locations aren’t listed in Advanced Search I’m a bit stumped.

Our collection has these books cataloged with the Shelving Location of ‘Children’s Library – Graphic Novel’, so I don’t need to mine the MARC data or keywords for this search. I just need to figure out the formula for grabbing from a particular Shelving Location.

I’m thinking there must be a clue in this link below, which is a search for everything in the Copy/Shelving Location GROUP containing all Children’s Shelving Locations (* in the Keyword box, ‘All Children’s’ group selected, everything else blank)…. This link below shows that “All Children’s” copy location group is coded as locg=4….. so what is the code for individual shelving locations? And how do I figure out what number this group has been assigned? In the staff client Copy Location Groups ‘All Children’s’ is listed as #2, so it’s not listed as #4 there….

Thank you!!
