Ah, look at the file! Why didn't I think of that? (Tired, reaching end of day.)

Thanks, Terran! Good clues on where to start looking and experimenting.

Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] KPAC filtering

Hmm... I could be wrong (and I'm very tired), but I would guess that with the 
way the global filter tag is set up in the kpac.xml file, that you could put 
any sort of defined filter in there. It is configured for "audience(a,b,c,d,j)" 
and that is easy to modify, but my guess is you could replace that bit in the 
global filter tag with "locations(x,y,z)" where x,y,z were the IDs (not the 
names) of the shelving locations you wish to display. 

This page lists the filters that the query parser understands and it says 
"locations" refers to shelving location IDs:
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=documentation:technical:search_grammar

I'm not sure if there is a way to determine the IDs of your shelving locations 
without looking at the database table that holds them.

We couldn't do this in PINES because our consortium allows different libraries 
to have different shelving locations and it would be too difficult to track, 
but I don't see why it couldn't work for a smaller or more standardized system.
