I'm getting excited about this! Sure, it could use some layout tweaks to make 
it easier to scan down the list, but I think patrons and staff alike would find 
it easier to interpret and use.

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.

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.
