"ebrary is getting a new look! Over the next few weeks, we are updating the standard design of our customer sites. We believe the simplified instructions and graphical subject areas of the new design will make the research experience faster and more enjoyable for patrons." Preview the new design.
You've read my mumbling about ebrary. My quick perusal of the preview didn't silence the mumbles.
- I don't see a print option, though their competition offers printing and pdf e-mailing.
- I don't see a citation option, though it continues to list all the info you'd need to create a citation. Their competition offers citations ready to use.
- The 'search all of ebrary' box is still prominent above the book while the 'search the particular book' box is off to the right.
The new graphic interface at the opening of the resource might not get much use from our students. We have links directly from the catalog to the individual ebrary title.
We'll see if this effort makes a difference in use. Check out the Preview for yourself. If you need a login, check with your CTC librarian.
