Ah, this is where I was heading with the Record Query experiment buried in the Record Bucket interface, except using a list with columns like most of the staff client interfaces, instead of the embedded OPAC. It's not complete, and currently has a hard-coded cap on the number of results (I believe 100), and it only has a single search box, though it re-uses the same advanced search syntax as the OPAC (harry -potter subject:fiction etc.). I didn't want to re-implement the whole OPAC, so my intention was to add a MARC View button to the list and leave it at that. But you can copy selected titles from multiple search results into a staging area, and then from the staging area into selected buckets. If that's a good direction to continue heading, I'd love for someone to champion it. But staff and patrons alike would benefit from things like checkboxes in the main OPAC. -- Jason Etheridge | VP, Tactical Development | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: ja...@esilibrary.com | web: http://www.esilibrary.com Please join us for the Evergreen 2010 International Conference, April 20-23, 2010 at the Amway Grand Hotel and Convention Center, Grand Rapids, Michigan. http://www.evergreen2010.org/
