→Submissions for 20-Minute Talk Slots
'''Abstract:'''
Browsing bookshelves has long been a useful research technique as well as an activity many users enjoy. As larger and larger portions of our physical library materials migrate to offsite storage, having a browse-able virtual shelf organized by call number is a much-desired feature. This virtual shelf is not only browsable across locations, but includes digital and physical materials, interfiled.I will talk about how we implemented nearby-on-shelf in Blacklight at Stanford: # the code to get shelfkeys out of call numbers (code available in solrmarc), # the code to lop volume data off end of call numbers to avoid clutter in the browse
# what I indexed in Solr given we have
## multiple call numbers for a single bib record
# Solr configuration, requests and responses to get call numbers before and after a given starting point as well as the desired information for display.
# Other code needed to implement this feature in Blacklight (concepts easily ported to other UIs).
This virtual shelf is not only browsable across locations, but includes any item with a call number in our collection (digital or physical materials).
All code is available (indexing code in solrmarc, UI code (including Solr calls) in blacklight).
