[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] catalog link for particular Shelving Location

[Holly Brennan]

Thanks! I’m not seeing anything useful for creating links in the Copy Location Editor in the staff client.

Thanks again. I’m going to make links for everything!

Sure thing.  They're in the table asset.copy_location.  I don't recall if the id is visible in the copy location editor or not...

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!!
