Add indicators to IZ/NZ/CZ tabs in Repository Search results to show presence of bib records and local holdings
It would save time in cataloging, acquisitions, ILL, and reference if the IZ/NZ/CZ tabs included some sort of indication that there are bib records matching the search and, where applicable, local holdings attached to those records.
My thought is a simple count added after the tab title -- local holdings / bibs.
Additionally it would be helpful to shade or highlight the active tab, making it very quick to recognize in which zone you are working.
Finally, on NZ and CZ results lists, it would be helpful 1) highlight the local holdings so that they stand out more obviously in a list sorted by rank, title, etc., and 2) to offer the option to sort bibs with local holdings at the top.
With these changes in place, staff would not need to click through all three tabs to check for bibs and holdings which may or may not exist. If the tab shows 0, you can skip it. Likewise, if the total NZ + CZ holdings do not equal the IZ holdings, the cataloger know that there are either IZ bibs that have not been shared to the NZ (IZ count higher) or holdings that are actually managed at the NZ level and not appearing in the IZ (NZ+CZ count higher).
I have attached a file with actual and edited screen shots to demonstrate this concept.
