035 field display links in I-Share results list are confusing about vufind HOT 14 CLOSED

Example: (CARLI) (Other Sources: (CSUdb)601692, (EBZ)ebs39311e, (TIUdb)414016)

(CARLI) is a link to the record in the I-Share view, duplicating the same link as the title.

Links of the form (ABCdb)nnnnnn link to the record in that database: (CSUdb)601692, (TIUdb)414016)

But other 035 fields also display here and those links do not work: (EBZ)ebs39311e

EIU -I don’t like seeing the cryptic “(CARLI) (Other Sources:…) in the brief record. I guess the (LEWdb)136472) is a database control number that will be confusing and not useful to patrons. (moved this comment from #52 )

Trinity Christian College - - The source bits in the results lists seem pointless from a patron standpoint and clutters up the display when there are a lot of source libraries. (e.g. (CARLI) (Other Sources: (CODdb)247785, (ELMdb)353142, (ISUdb)1759100, (IVCdb)193984, (MMCdb)92959, (NEIdb)751586, (OAKdb)121188, (WRHdb)347264) –and that’s a shorter one!)

From a librarian perspective, I find them interesting, but not enough to make their presence in the results worth the screen space they take up.

UIS - Other sources could be hidden from view to give it a cleaner view and reduce the length of the results page.

These 035 fields are currently set to display in the results list in order to assist with debugging and finding examples in the I-Share view of the catalog. We will be able to remove them from display when they are no longer needed by CARLI staff.

IWU - when you search all I-Share libraries, there is a lot of information in “Other Sources” that is very confusing

from vufind.

SXU - I-Share library locations display (layers and codes)
Is it correct to have the codes show to the public as in the example below?
Will users know what they are and that they should click into them?
Are we expecting them to guess that the CARLI entry will show all holdings?
Perhaps we could at least have a HOLDINGS header for that area?

(CARLI) (Other Sources: (CODdb)251208, (COLdb)498914, (EIUdb)1138242, (ISUdb)1664212, (NBYdb)875928, (UIUdb)7184449)

As @cedelis suggested in today's meeting, please comment out the html display of the 035 fields in the Results list displays of the I-Share union catalog. This way CARLI staff can still "view source" to easily see the records in the match sets.

Ready for testing (on vufind3-devel server)

Commenting out the html is a good stopgap solution for now. Eventually we will most likely want to avoid the "Location" calls in the Search Results page entirely to improve performance. I'm not sure about the trade-off between performance and staff being able to "view source" right now.

from vufind.

There aren't any "location" calls being made. This info is coming from the solr record (the 035s are indexed already; no further lookups are occurring).

from vufind.

This looks good, "Other Sources" can be seen in the "view source" of the results page. Ready to be put on vufind3-test for the final check.

from vufind.

Looks good on vufind3-test, ready for prod

Pulled carli-release-3.1.3 changes into Prod server.
