I want to provide a link to all graphic novels for kids, so patrons can click the link on our website and go directly to a "pre-searched" page of catalog results.
In the past I have created this type of link with keyword searches and Copy Location Groups, but because the individual Shelving Locations aren't listed in Advanced Search I'm a bit stumped. Our collection has these books cataloged with the Shelving Location of 'Children's Library - Graphic Novel', so I don't need to mine the MARC data or keywords for this search. I just need to figure out the formula for grabbing from a particular Shelving Location. I'm thinking there must be a clue in this link below, which is a search for everything in the Copy/Shelving Location GROUP containing all Children's Shelving Locations (* in the Keyword box, 'All Children's' group selected, everything else blank).... This link below shows that "All Children's" copy location group is coded as locg=4..... so what is the code for individual shelving locations? And how do I figure out what number this group has been assigned? In the staff client Copy Location Groups 'All Children's' is listed as #2, so it's not listed as #4 there.... http://catalog.ci.homer.ak.us/eg/opac/results?bool=and&qtype=keyword&contains=contains&query=*&bool=and&qtype=title&contains=contains&query=&bool=and&qtype=author&contains=contains&query=&_adv=1&locg=4%3A2&pubdate=is&date1=&date2=&sort= Thank you!!
