--- Comment #34 from Sarah Cornell <[email protected]> --- Sure, that's pretty close to what I'm thinking. We are in an area where libraries are independent of each other (enthusiastically so) but are geographically nearby and all use Koha. We have an existing state program for ILL handled through a different interface, but we may lose that due to funding cuts. Our libraries aren't interested in merging, and probably won't even be able to form a consortium or a true shared catalog. I hope this bug would make it possible for patrons to search a neighboring library's catalog without going to a special search screen. There are two ways I see this working: an additional entry in the "more searches" menu (to the right on opac-detail.pl, controlled by syspref OPACSearchForTitleIn) or something in that same right-hand column that says "look for this item nearby" and it searches for that ISBN in a set list of z39.50 targets. (See "details..." screenshot) The second way would be similar to the way that the Overdrive API works, where it takes the terms from a search and submits it to a set list of z39.50 targets. (see "results..." screenshot) If I remember correctly the ILL module can allow patrons to place a request that searches z39.50 targets, but I want patrons to just get the results before they place an ILL request. Let me know if that's not helpful! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
