[Koha-devel] Call number handling in 3.0

[Ryan Higgins]

For search results, I suggest a list of libraries with holdings, and hidden
divs that list the call numbers and item availability for a given library.
If 'SearchMyLibraryFirst' or independentBranches is ON , then the user's
home library's specific holdings  are shown by default, and you click other
library names to display the holdings for that library.  Otherwise, the
library name is followed by a parenthetical summary, e.g.
LibraryName (2/5 available).
