this is still an issue Hi Nicole, I think it can make sense to have the subscription number when there is more than one subscription for the same title in one library. Perhaps we can make it work a bit better? Katrin, The branch does show, so it makes sense to the user with that info, but the number is just confusing the patrons who don't know about the IDs or the way the db works. Nicole I was going to tackle this, but now there is a filter on the left that lets you choose a subscription number to filter on - again this makes no sense to patrons who have no idea that this subscription for People magazine is #12 (or whatever). Do we really need this filter on subscription ID number in the OPAC? I am still not sure how this can be resolved best. If a library has multiple subscriptions (might be for the same brach) there is no other way to distinguish them right now but the internal number. The only thing I can come up with is to have the library define a 'name' for the subscription that can be used for filtering and display. Maybe a solution here would be to make the ID less prominent, using something like library, callnumber (ID) as the display name? |
