Select topic? #2
Description
This is just an idea, but I figured since you put this on GitHub you might be interesting in hearing crazy ideas from folks. I know, big assumption.
What if in addition to selecting the year you could select the topic too? Each book should have a call number, you could take the top level list of categories and use it see first names for Folklore in 1960, etc.
Maybe it's an awful idea, but the top level classification ought to be relatively easy to extract from the MARC records. The categories are kinda tiresome, the way they confine books to being about a particular topic, just so that the books can be placed on a shelf in an orderly fashion. But maybe using them as a way to look at first names breaks their quixotic spell?
