We could do that, if there’s enough interest, though it wasn’t first on the list of planned enhancements. I’d need to re-mine the authority files (which I should probably do anyway, to get more up-to-date records).

Not all subjects are associated with call numbers.
I personally find the subjects more useful than the call numbers, but if folks would find the subject-to-call number transition useful (for subjects that have such correspondences on record), I’d like to hear from them.

You *can* jump from the information page on any *book* to its spot in the call number browse. Just click on the call number in the information display (which you can get to by selecting the little “i” icon to the left of the title) and you’ll see what’s ‘around’ it.
