OpacSeparateHoldings is a great enhancement, but only works for logged in users, which means it is less useful on e.g. public access computers in the library, used for quickly looking up what books are on the shelf in the library. It would be nice to have a way to choose a library without being logged in. This could probably work very similar to how the language chooser works (with a cookie). It would also be nice to be able to specify the chosen library in a URL, so you could link to a shared OPAC with a special link and have the chosen library be "your" library. (See bug 9735 for a parallel development for languages.)
Maybe this could work similar as bug 7740? >If set to OpacURLBranch, the library is chosen based on the Apache environment variable BRANCHCODE. >For example, this could be added to the OPAC section of koha-httpd.conf: SetEnv BRANCHCODE "CPL"

But as far as I can understand, if you have say 50 libraries in one instance, you have to create 50 new apache configs, one for each library. I still think it would be nice to have a way to set the library based on a URL that does not require tweaking the Apache configs.
The request for the library URL is a little similar to bug 10060. Adding a see also.
