Library News

• Colors: the new interface follows the color scheme of the ASU Web pages;
• Search tabs: aside from the more familiar ‘basic,’ ‘advanced,’ and ‘course reserve’ tabs, the new interface has a dedicated “Author” search tab, which simplifies searching for items by a named individual or group, as it contains specially marked spaces for inserting last and first name;
  
• Result list: the new interface displays a numbered list of titles, with all pertinent and relevant information logically displayed underneath;
  
• Availability status: in place of the sometimes confusing “Status: See Library Location,” the new interface displays a very visible green checkmark () when a physical item is available for use, and a red “x” () when a physical item is in use.
• Item type icons: to the left of each title on the result list is an icon representing the nature of the Library item listed (an open tome () for a book, a video camera () for a video, etc.)
