Task #10--New Website

I like the looks of the new site--it's not cluttered, but has plenty of information. The use of our motto to direct patrons to information is clever and user friendly. I noticed the "pages" were slow in loading when changing screens, but I'm assuming it's because it's not "live" yet. I really like the click-on calendar on each page. The upper search box works well. I tried all three searches and found what I wanted. The menu at the bottom of the home page is very good--easy to find what you need. The only problem I could see was that the book covers under the heading are incomplete. It would be nice to see the entire book cover. Also, when you go to the search the catalog page, there's no icon to take you directly back to the home page--you have to do some kind of search first. I'd like to see a direct link to "home" on that page.

It's an easy-on-the-eye website, not cluttered, and easy to navigate. Well done, Cari!!!
