These were originally collected as research/benchmarking for Penn State's Blacklight catalog. They range from core features like the call number browse, which will enable us to see materials across 30+ libraries displayed on a single "shelf," to desired "someday" enhancements like the incorporation of knowledge cards and digital collections display.
Catalogers generally apply the most specific subject heading possible. This heading is made up of increasingly more specific parts, when the most general might be helpful in finding results. If someone has found a book on African-American quiltmakers, for example, and the subject is African American quiltmakers—Michigan—Biography, how can we make it easy for them to search only for African American quiltmakers?

After speaking to folks who work with the Sirsi Symphony extracts at NCSU and Stanford, we developed our own method of handling bound-withs, documented here: https://github.com/psu-libraries/psulib_blacklight/wiki/Bound-With-in-Linked-Notes
We need a way to provide some kind of fuller shelf browse which allows people to see items held in our 23 campus locations and additional 12ish UP libraries.
Stanford, browse has great thumbnail options: https://searchworks.stanford.edu/browse?action=index&controller=browse&page=-2&start=12754562&view=gallery
Call number search from drop-down is more specific, e.g. https://searchworks.stanford.edu/catalog?utf8=%E2%9C%93&start=12754562&view=gallery&search_field=call_number&q=nk+9112
Princeton, browse has simple list with no extra options, could be functional option if Stanford-type browse poses challenges: https://catalog.princeton.edu/browse/call_numbers?search_field=browse_cn&q=nk9112
Cornell: search for Chaĭkovskiĭ as author https://newcatalog.library.cornell.edu/catalog?utf8=%E2%9C%93&controller=catalog&action=index&q=Cha%C4%ADkovski%C4%AD&search_field=author%2Fcreator gives you results with authorized form Tchaikovsky, Peter Ilich, 1840-1893 as author/creator.
Cornell: search for subject heart attack https://newcatalog.library.cornell.edu/catalog?utf8=%E2%9C%93&controller=catalog&action=index&q=heart+attack&search_field=subject gives you results with the authorized medical term, "myocardial infarction"
IUCat does similar?
note, from convos at Blacklight forum 2018 appears to involve more systems. Cornell indexes with Java vs. traject.
Might this be another way of approaching knowledge cards? Consider refining/augmenting with other knowledge card type stuff
