Thanks, everyone, and keep them coming.

There can be a lot of different components to a single item, and we're
looking at ways of fitting it all together in a user friendly and elegant
way. I'm hoping that when a person clicks on something after searching or
browsing, they don't get a confusing/excessive dump of information that
only makes sense for librarians, but that the users are still able to get
all the info they need about the item.
