Book Shelf virtual browse interface and searching for records with physical copies on CDS

This project provided the opportunity to learn how the CERN Document Server functions by creating a local invenio instance. With the python programming language, a feature was implemented on CDS in conjunction with other developers. This feature makes it possible for CDS users to search for records using their shelf number and for records which have a physical copy attached to them. This was done by adding the fields 852__2, 852__h and 340__p, obtained from a bibicirculation module’s database table to the marc data of the records. Research was also done into ways of creating a virtual browsing system for CDS users to quickly browse through shelves of books while online
