I have been trying to work with the new OPAC while I'm at the children's information desk. I have been placing holds, and I figured out how to find where all the copies of a book are. I like that the new OPAC has similar titles listed on the side, and that the books of a series are listed on the bottom of a page. These features are a great help when doing RA.
I haven't been able to figure out how to remove a filter on the right-hand side once I no longer need it, until today. I found the box right above the filters and a user clicks on the minus icon to take the filter. As I wrote on the survey, I think it would be more intuitive if a user could simply click on the filter again to disable it.
(Also, I was forced to write this with the threat of a pastrami sandwich down my throat...I placed a hold on The Chicken Doesn't Skate, using the new OPAC. The person who recommended it, told me it was called Chicken Don't Skate - get your facts straight, recommender!)

What is RA?
ReplyDeleteYou really didn't know about the minus button?
I think Keith or somebody taught us that during the initial training. That is why it is so important to focus during those trainings and not joke around.
RA = reader's advisory
ReplyDeleteI must not have heard Keith talk about the minus button. He was hard to hear over someone's WRY comments the whole time.
