| # | Response |
|---|
| 1 | absolutely nothing, it sucks |
|---|
| 1 | easy to use |
|---|
| 1 | honestly, don't like anything about it |
|---|
| 1 | I was wondering where I could bring up a few issues I have with the library's technological set-up, and there it was! |
|---|
| 1 | It is easy to navigate |
|---|
| 1 | It is much more streamlined and organized than before. |
|---|
| 1 | It seems much clearer and visually, it's immediately easier to use. The old webpage was confusing, in my opinion. |
|---|
| 1 | It seems very organized |
|---|
| 1 | it sucks |
|---|
| 1 | It's simple and easy to read. |
|---|

|---|
| 1 | its so organized and useful |
|---|

If you were to change something about the new Library homepage, what would it be?
| # | Response |
|---|
| 1 | Add "Ingram" to the top of the page... it is only mentioned at the very bottom in small print. We shoudl be proud of the heritige of the institution, especially that of Dr. Ingram. |
|---|
| 1 | Add EBSCOhost. |
|---|
| 1 | Different pictures - maybe rotating automatically. Otherwise, nothing. |
|---|
| 1 | easier access to e-reserves |
|---|
| 1 | er, sorry - the pictures do rotate...just had to reload the screen |
|---|
| 2 | everything |
|---|
| 1 | First of all - the fact that the only method of accessing it is through internet exploder... there are reasons that its called that. I would hope that someone in charge would be aware of the facts and at least give the option to use *something* else.
Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, even Netscape... any one of those is a better choice. It's almost insulting to the school to have that as the only program on these machines. Certainly vexing to anyone who wants an efficient method of accessing information. Even trying to get to the google homepage you have to deal with the MSN search engine, which is obnoxious, and might I add - failed to navigate there on the first try. |
|---|
| 1 | I wish I could see all of it on one page, instead of having it run off the edge on the right side. |
|---|
| 1 | Make it more colorful. |
|---|
| 1 | make it to where the electronic resever is easier to find. Also maybe start a FAQ's page |
|---|
| 1 | nothing |
|---|
| 1 | Nothing in particular. |
|---|
| 1 | Nothing. |
|---|
| 1 | restore the link to the TMC |
|---|
| 1 | tell how to check e-mail |
|---|
| 1 | the entire set up. it's horrible . |
|---|
| 1 | the redesign makes it more difficult to find newspaper and magazine articles |
|---|
| 1 | There are to many connection pages to things. |
|---|
|

What aspect of the new Library homepage do you think is confusing?
| # | Response |
|---|
| 1 | can't find e-mail link |
|---|
| 1 | can't think of anything |
|---|
| 1 | e-reserves difficult to locate, too many links on front page- is cluttered |
|---|
| 1 | everything |
|---|
| 1 | everything is so fucking confusing |
|---|
| 1 | How to get to EBSCOhost. |
|---|
| 1 | I don't find it confusing |
|---|
| 1 | I found a need while working with students at reference:
under the Find Information--books and more link there needs to be information directing patrons to finding a book in the building--map links and a list of LC call numbers to facilitate browsing. |
|---|
| 1 | I wasn't confused about anything I explored. |
|---|
| 1 | It isn't very confusing. |
|---|
| 2 | none |
|---|
| 1 | None of them |
|---|
| 1 | same as above |
|---|
| 1 | The "more" links might do better separated by a little space from the lists under each area heading. |
|---|
| 1 | the links |
|---|
| 1 | The phone number to the circulation desk is kind of buried, but that's not terribly difficult to find. |
|---|
