That was kind of my thought in sharing it here :) Nicole On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 6:10 PM, Agnes Rivers-Moore <arm@hanover.ca> wrote:
Nicole, thanks for the Bugzilla reference. I see no comments since almost a year ago, and no votes for it yet, so I hope to encourage some interest. I was thinking of something that would translate existing library location data (call number, item category, location and branch) from the item, rather than adding extra data as described ("create a new authorized type “maplinks” then allow Koha administrators to put in any content they want"). Call number may be more precise than needed, but I think call number ranges should work, such as Junior Fiction A-J. I have added my thoughts to the "bug", and hope others will add comments and votes.

There is an enhancement request for this: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=737
Also there is a library that did this with their Koha system ages ago -- not sure what version they were using.

Hi all
I would like to imagine a feature for Koha's OPAC, where the customer can click on a 'Where is it?" button for any title that is available on shelf, and be presented with a library plan showing the section where the item should be. For instance, if the person looked up Pride & Prejudice, and the library has a copy in their Classics section, on the lower floor at the end of the Fiction shelving, the plan would show the shelving layout with the appropriate shelf area highlighted.
This would of course require some work from each library to create the shelf layout, and then link it to categories or call number ranges in Koha.
Just an idea, would this be hard to do, and is there interest out there?
