Simple iTunes question

I've got most of my music on one computer (using an external drive and iTunes), which I sometimes access (as a shared library under iTunes sources) from another computer. When I do this, I can only get a list of songs, but not individual albums. On the main computer (downstairs and in another room) I can get a nice list of the music by album or artist or whatever. I want the same on the remote computer. Am I missing something obvious, or am I asking the impossible?
Thanks for your help on this.

"I opened itunes, and clicked on the shared lib, and then went to the VIEW tab and chose Show Browser... I was then able to view by more options. Genre, Artist, album, etc."

I second Jim's response. When you switch libraries in iTunes, it always reverts to its default settings, which only show you a song list. If you follow the above procedure, you'll be able to view the library you are accessing remotely by genre, artist, and album.
