Cook Library Web Site Redesign

COOK LIBRARY WEB SITE FEEDBACK FORUM.
Welcome to our official feedback forum. We need your help to make Cook Library web site better for you.
Do you have an idea? Do you recognize a good idea when you see one? We want to hear from you!
Add your NEW ideas and/or vote for ones that are here. Thank you!!

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

Users don't know where to look for journals that we own

However we label it, It's got to be more prominent! However, the label that we use has to be more intuitive. It should NOT be listed under articles. That could imply that a student should be typing in the title of an article rather that the title of a journal. Also articles is a generic word, as we talk about articles in encyclopedias. I've seen students get confused between the two. I like the idea of having a question mark/hover that provides some explanation as well as an intuitive label.

Library Map

Because our library is so big it would be nice to know where everything is located when we are trying to find a book or other resources.

Thanks for you suggestion. Tell us, what do you want/need to know that you would want to see on the site?
Link to Research Port directly from everwhere on site

..like on a menu bar that is always available. Label should NOT say Connect to Research Port, but something that is more descriptive and will mean something to users, maybe "Off-Campus Login" ?

Have a section that has all slylabi on file.

Have a section where students can search for their class and find couse documents and sylabi. Or get all teachers on Blackboard.

more virtual books

It would be much easier if we could look at books online instead of searching for them in the library.

Is there a word/short phrase that you could suggest that would easily identify access to online journals? Thanks for participating!

Don’t see your idea?

Post a new idea…

Cook Library Web Site Redesign

I suggest you ...

There are two ways to get more votes:

unclutter the library's homepage

Users don't know where to look for journals that we own

Library Map

lighten up on the verbiage

Link to Research Port directly from everwhere on site

Have a section that has all slylabi on file.

post your hours

use draggable info boxes that allow us to truly personalize

focus more on article search since that's what I really need

Link to copyright and fair use information from home page

add google scholar search

more virtual books

let us log in with our TU id # instead of the # on onecard

Direct link to library, not interim page from Towson main

buy more journals and make online journals easier to access

give me my 10 dollars back from pervious print card

let us use our onecard to print
