Back when I was evaluating open-source ILS products, I saw a nice feature in PINES that I'd love to see in Koha: shelf browsing.
Once you find an item (via search or whatever), you can click the "Shelf Browser" link and get a list of all the other items sitting on the shelf around that item (based on... I dunno, call number? Dewey decimal number?)
Anyway, it's a nice way to virtually browse the shelf around the item you want, especially for a small church library like ours with only a hundred items or so.
Does Koha have a feature like that anywhere in 3.0? If not, is it on a todo list anywhere? It does now :-). Sunday evening I whipped up a basic degradable shelf browser and this afternoon Owen made it pretty. We've both pushed up our patches and it will appear in the 3.0-beta.
If you'd like a preview of this, you can view the following url: http://opacdemo.koha.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=433
Thanks. You're very welcome, thanks for the suggestion.
