Add the series title to the angular staff search screen

[Steve Callender]

3.6+

This is a wishlist item to add the series title for items that are in a series, along with library, call number, shelving location, and status reported in,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1908722

It would be nice if these were configurable to be turned on or not depending on library needs.

Hello, we have the series added in our opac catalog results list, so it took only 1 day for someone to mention that the series isn't shown in results in the Angular staff catalog.

Adding it to /Open-ILS/src/eg2/src/app/staff/catalog/result/record.component.html is fairly straight forward... although figuring out it was summary.display.series_title took a bit. Since I didn't spot metabib.flat_display_entry right away.

Our staff frequently are helping their customers find series, and having the series and series numbering in the results list is a huge time saver for them. Otherwise they have to open each record and find the numbering to find the first book in a series from the Angular staff catalog.

Why are all the series in the test database in tag 440? That's an obsolete tag. It should be using 490/8XX.
I tried add a 490 and can't find it in a series search and it doesn't display in the search results.

That said, I like seeing the series names (from the 440 in this case) display and am happy to see the series volume number.

based on bib 221 (ghost story), it looks like it is pulling from the 440 and the 800 $t -- Ghost Story has no 440 but it does pull the 800$t into the search results display
however, when I search series for 'novel' I don't get a keyword hit and the info in the 490 doesn't display when the book displays in search results.
I think including 440 is fine since many older records still have it, but the 490 definitely needs to be included in both series keyword searches and any series display.
I hope that's helpful :)

To add additional info - this patch just includes whatever is mapped into the series_title field. That should be consistent with what appears under the "More Details" in the same record in the public OPAC.

However, I'm not sure how that mapping works and how it prioritizes the MARC fields - does that need a separate bug?

Tested and confirmed series name and number are appearing in results list as expected.

[Katie Greenleaf Martin (kgmspark)]

I can confirm that in our Evergreen 3.11 installation, the 490 is searchable via the 'series' search, so it is mapped correctly for us. Based on Terran's comment, I assume that the mapping will work with this code to place the 'series_title' info into the search results in the staff catalog. The series name and number are appearing as expected for the series_title mapping on the test server.

I have tested this code and consent to signing off on it with my name, Katie Greenleaf Martin and my email address, <email address hidden>

[Terran McCanna (tmccanna)]

Thanks to everyone who tested and provided feedback. As this is signed off and it does bring the staff catalog display of the series title up to par with the OPAC series title, I've merged this code for 3.12.

However, if there are series fields that should be taking precedence over the ones that are being displayed, please submit a separate launchpad ticket with details.
