We have received feedback from our users that they would like to get an initial overview of a FRBR group’s contents directly in the results list. When encountering the representative record of a FRBR group, they want to immediately see how many online resources and physical copies are included, along with other useful details such as publication dates or resource types.
A straightforward implementation could be to enhance the link to the versions list so that it not only shows the total number of versions but also indicates how many available online (consortia: only online resources that are available in the respective IZ / no viewit_other) and print resources are included. More advanced solutions could go further by displaying additional information about each version.
We believe this enhancement would improve both the generic and the preferred FRBR display, as it would reduce unnecessary clicks and help users assess relevant resources more efficiently and even prevent users from overlooking relevant resources.
