Not state of the art anymore, but we still use a cover-based browse at NCSU:

http://catalog.lib.ncsu.edu/record/NCSU1855526
http://catalog.lib.ncsu.edu/browse?callNumber=SD418.3+.A53+C26+2005&format=covers

We have work underway to add a horizontal cover-based widget to the full
record to allow browsing directly there a la Amazon recommendations. We are
actually planning to offer both call number browse and a subject-based
browse.

BYU has a neat alphabetical browser by title, subject, and call number via
autocomplete:
