Navigation updates to user interface: The core Blacklight team has been working with Jackie Sipes and the newly created Website & Library Search User Experience Research Group to respond to some of the navigational issues reported with the Library Search, especially when moving between the catalog and articles results. In particular, we are developing a new menu bar for “Books,” “Articles,” “Journals,” and “More” search results. The group recently conducted user testing on these updates, and we will sharing out more information as we get closer to going live with the changes.
New request options: The core Blacklight team has also begun to develop a more direct integration with E-ZBorrow and is building a proof-of-concept for requesting the purchase of select online materials via Blacklight.
