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.

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!

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. -- Mike Rylander | President | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Open Source Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: mi...@esilibrary.com<mailto:mi...@esilibrary.com> | web: http://www.esilibrary.com On Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 2:30 PM, Hardy, Elaine <eha...@georgialibraries.org<mailto:eha...@georgialibraries.org>> wrote: Found a few images of the different ILS’s shelflisting functionality --- http://www.lsuc.on.ca/For-Lawyers/Manage-Your-Practice/Research/Cataloguing-Request-Manual-for-County---District-Law-Libraries/#shelflists http://tualatints.pbworks.com/w/page/9224546/Assigning%20Dewey (scroll down to image from Polaris) http://www.tulane.edu/~techserv/shelflist.html (again, scroll down for images.

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. Elaine J.
