>Catalogue: Do we have requirements beyond surfacing new functionality like academic reserves, acquisition requests, etc in the catalogue?
Are there plans to add the ability to browse alphabetically, at least by author, title, subject, if not also series/uniform title, call number, and others? It seems to me that such an ability would be useful for all library types. For an example of its implementation, see <http://catalog.loc.gov/> or <http://authorities.loc.gov>. Improvements could be made, perhaps. For example, it wouldn't necessarily have to be a full-page listing by default--perhaps just a more complete listing on the side, with entire headings rather than just $a of a name. If I know the name of an author, for example, Shakespeare, William, 1849-1931 (NAR no 92032318 ) and want to find works either by or about him (and/or want to choose only one of those options), is it be possible to do so? Without retrieving records for Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 that are not related to the former? If I search Wagner, Richard, I would like to be able to pull up works by only one of them, after being able to choose which one. For example, if I want all of the works of the musician Wagner, Richard,$d1813-1883 (NAR n 79089831), I would like the ability to have the search not show me records with Wagner, Richard,$q(Richard S.), $d1953- (NAR n 96054284, heading should be Wagner, Richard,$d1953-; author of The case for Mars) unless the musician also appears on the record. For cataloging, related to the above, and to "* Authority control: there is some rudimentary authority control built into Evergreen today.", it would be nice to be able to browse the authority file alphabetically and to see which headings have authority records and which don't (for example, the initial results page of a search at <http://authorities.loc.gov>).
