TPAC is missing the authority browse feature

[Yamil]

* Evergreen version
EG 2.2 RC1

TPAC is missing the authority browse feature in EG 2.2 RC1. This feature comes from the "authority control sets" development from the fall of 2011, it allows patrons to browse authority records in the system and provides links to the bib records that use the listed authorities.

This feature is currently found in the JSPAC from the advance search page on the left side (see screenshots).

I would like to find collaborators to bring this feature to TPAC.

KCLS would love to get this added to the TPAC and while we can not get this coded we could contribute a little money towards it. It would really help our patrons out a great deal.
Thanks

Although it isn't strictly an authority browse, development is in the works for an index/authority browse. See http://blog.esilibrary.com/2013/02/18/930/.

Marking as Won't Fix in light of new bib/authority browse that will be available in 2.5 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1177810.

If there is some functionality available in the earlier authority browse that isn't covered by the new development, we could submit it as a separate bug.
