ArgonCallNumberSearch

This adds a Blacklight SearchBuilder method to TrlnArgon to support searching of LC Call Numbers and acccession numbers (e.g. CD 1234).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'argon_call_number_search', git: 'https://github.com/trln/argon_call_number_search'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install argon_call_number_search

Usage

Once installed in your Argon app some setup is required to enable call number searching.

In app/models/search_builder.rb add include ArgonCallNumberSearch::SearchBuilderBehavior and add the add_call_number_query_to_solr method to the default processor chain, after add_advanced_search_to_solr if using Blacklight's AdvancedSearchBuilder.

For example:

class SearchBuilder < Blacklight::SearchBuilder
  include Blacklight::Solr::SearchBuilderBehavior
  include ArgonCallNumberSearch::SearchBuilderBehavior

  self.default_processor_chain += %i[add_advanced_search_to_solr
                                     add_call_number_query_to_solr]
end

Then, in app/controllers/catalog_controller.rb add call_number to the configured search fields.

For example:

class CatalogController < ApplicationController
  include Blacklight::Catalog
  include TrlnArgon::ControllerOverride

  configure_blacklight do |config|
    # SNIP

    config.add_search_field('call_number') do |field|
      field.label = I18n.t('trln_argon.search_fields.call_number')
      field.advanced_parse = false
    end

    # SNIP
  end
end

If you want to modify the regular expressions used to forgive accession number searches with and without spaces you can set these as strings in an initializer in a configuration block.

For example:

# Default regex values shown
ArgonCallNumberSearch.configure do |config|
  config.acc_num_without_space = '^[\s\d[[:punct:]]]*(CD|DVD|LP|AV|VC|LD)([A-Z\d]+)'
  config.acc_num_with_space = '^[\s\d[[:punct:]]]*(CD|DVD|LP|AV|VC|LD)(\s+)([A-Z\d]+)'
end

IMPORTANT: Solr fields required to support call number search.

Your records in the trlnbib Solr index must have certain fields stored and/or indexed to support call number and accession number searching. This will require modifications to item processing in marc-to-argot.

Fields that support call number searching:

• lc_call_nos_normed -- supports multi-valued LC call number searching ("bound with")
• shelf_numbers -- supports accession number searching ("CD 12345")
• shelfkey -- supports basic, single valued LC Call Number searching (field is intended to support call number browse but will generally work for call number search with the exception of "bound with" call numbers).

Your records will likely already be populated with the single valued field shelfkey that contains normalized LC Call Numbers. This is a single valued field intended for call number browse. It will provide basic LC call number searching functionality but will not support things like "bound with" call number searching. You can safely have both the shelfkey and the multi-valued lc_call_nos_normed in your records and this gem will search both fields.

Basic example of marc-to-argot item processing to add fields needed for call number searching:

def extract_items

  # SNIP #

  lambda do |rec, acc, ctx|
    # SNIP #
    shelf_numbers = []
    lc_call_nos_normed = []

    Traject::MarcExtractor.cached('940', alternate_script: false)
                          .each_matching_line(rec) do |field, spec, extractor|

      # SNIP #

      # Add all normalized LC Call Nos to lc_call_nos_normed field
      # for searching.
      # And add all shelving control numbers
      # to shelf_numbers for searching.
      case item.fetch('cn_scheme', '')
      when '0'
        lc_call_nos_normed << Lcsort.normalize(item.fetch('call_no', '').strip)
      when '4'
        shelf_numbers << item.fetch('call_no', '').strip
      end
    end

    # SNIP #

    ctx.output_hash['shelf_numbers'] = shelf_numbers.uniq.compact if shelf_numbers.any?
    ctx.output_hash['lc_call_nos_normed'] = lc_call_nos_normed.uniq.compact if lc_call_nos_normed.any?

    # SNIP #

  end
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
