Hi Karen! It sounds like you are talking about the search results view in the Opac(?). If you have someone at hand somewhat familiar with CSS and jQuery I’d say that it would be quite possible to move the information around to better suit your needs. What happens is basically that Koha generate the page as usual and delivers it to the user. When the page is loaded the local browser on the users computer then readjust the layout/look of the page when presenting it to the user. If you have a demo to work on you could ask any jQuery/javascript ninja to stick their scripts in the preference ”opacuserjs” and help you sort it out until it looks right.
The good thing about this approach is that you don’t have to change anything in the actual Koha-parts. The parts you might want to move around or restyle looks like that classes ”results_summary availability” for the whole group of info or ”available” for the separate groups of info on available for loan/reference.
