    Problem Symptoms:
    * When refreshing the short list of titles that have previously been transferred to My e-Shelf, the titles are displayed twice in the My e-Shelf list.
    * The same is happening when refreshing the full view of a record after sending it to My e-Shelf

    Cause:
    Use of back button; configuration in HTML (form method=get)

    Resolution:
    the duplication of records in the e-shelf may be related to using the browser's back button.
    This can be avoided by changing the following line in
    $alephe_root/www_f_lng/myshelf-note-full:

    <form method=get
    name=form1
    action="&server_f">

    to

    <form method=post
    name=form1
    action="&server_f">

    Change the same in $alephe_root/www_f_lng/myshelf-note-short.

    Afterwards records in my e-shelf won't be duplicated after using the back button. Instead the back button will bring you to a "This page is expired" message.
