We're interested in implementing a virtual browse feature as well, so I was
glad to find this post.
Since we have a shared catalog and the feature is currently under
discussion by our partner institutions, we're also considering implementing
it for our installation of Summon first. I've seen U of Huddersfield, but
am wondering if there are additional examples?
Thanks,
Darylyne
