[VuFind-Tech] Scoped searching and the home library

[John H. <ho...@hs...>]

One of our planned enhancements to VuFind is to allow users to select a specific library to search up front. In addition, we want the user to be able to set a home library for their session and scope the search automatically. This could be part of the user's VuFind profile (or we could get the home library from Evergreen). Our libraries will probably want to set a default home library and have the workstation reset to that home library after a session timeout. This could be a permanent cookie that is overridden by the user's session cookie. Related to this, we'd like the holdings display to put the user's home library items at the top, by default. What are your thoughts on the subject?
