Task #10 - New Website

I missed the December staff training due to being short staffed at the Clifton branch but I've had some time to play around with the new site.

Things I Like:
  • I love that there are no drop down menus! Those were so irritating.
  • The "Other Free eBooks and Audiobooks" links are a good addition. 
  • I like how I can get to downloadable media from both 'Books and Media' and 'eResources'.
 Things I Don't Like:
  • The Services page was a little plain, a pictured icon for each service would have been a nice touch. 
  • Too much text! Will there be more icons? It took me a while to find the "What's Next?" link which I use a lot.
  • Why does searching the catalog bring up a new tab? Is this just because it's the development site? I hope so because I always have too many tabs up.
I'm not sure if our patrons will like it, nobody reads anything anymore - kind of like signs.

  1. Thanks for the comments! Websites are never really 'done', so there will definitely be more images added, etc. Just wanted to get all the content in there so we could actually launch. Hopefully patrons will like it better; of course there will always be those who hate it just cause it's new.
