[Web4lib] Is a new browser window always a no-no?

[Gillian Wiseman]

I'm not a web designer, but as a user, in this circumstance I think you are exactly right. I'd be annoyed at having to "back up" through several pages of info. So your secondary window is actually saving clicks and time; that's what its for.

So, in the case of links to catalog records in book lists like this, do
others feel a new browser window is justified, or is it better to require
the user to use the back button in order to return, eventually, to the
library web page?
