To preface: I think the advanced search interfaces are underdeveloped. They've really not been properly overhauled for 3.0. Maybe we can hash something out that's better for 3.2. Josh and I discussed at one point an advanced search interface for the OPAC that was much like WorldCat's: http://www.worldcat.org/advancedsearch Fairly bold, very linear, and with some basic hints on functionality. The way we talked about it, there could be a link to a "power search" interface that had more options like boolean operators, additional limiters, etc. I'm not sure that the staff interface would really have to differ significantly (if at all) from the public one...it doesn't in dev_week, and that has worked well for NPL. I do think that the staff interface for search results should offer the librarian more information if necessary. Right now the primary functional difference is the detailed display of holdings information and statuses. I'd say that's an appropriate difference. But as for line breaks and minor display changes, as Paul describes, I don't have any objections to making the displays more alike. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org _______________________________________________ Koha-devel mailing list Koha-devel@lists.koha.org http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
