Description Laura Escamilla 2023-06-30 13:53:17 UTC
Add the ability to search for item records by biblionumber to the navbar, in the advanced search filters, and in the item search. 

Currently, the only way to search for items by biblionumber is by using the "sn:" shortcut, and adding this feature would improve library workflows.

Hi Laura, you should be able to add it to item search through the additional item search fields configuration in administration if that helps.
Comment 2 Laura O'Neil 2023-07-14 20:14:55 UTC
Hi Katrin, the library asking for this enhancement wants to be able to pull up the bib record for a known biblionumber, not the item(s) associated with the biblionumber.
Comment 3 Katrin Fischer 2023-07-14 20:29:49 UTC
Hi Laura O :) Laura E listed both in her initial description: item search and advanced search. I was only trying to point out that for item search there might already be a working solution.

Yes, and thank you! I learned something new from your first comment :)
