Even that is only useful within the home library's data, from the STAFF side. Am I missing something? Unlike other searches, there is NO semantic relationship between the multiple elements that might be returned on a partial barcode search. They might be items acquired around the same time, or they might not. Maybe 5 consecutive barcodes are items on the same biblio, and maybe they're not. Who do we imagine would utilize such a search from the OPAC? Users who have the whole barcode but don't want to type it all in? Users with photographic selective memory? ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
