[thread] First up for #OPACFriday OPAC review, I'm making five suggestions on a library website and Primo catalog for @shines. Opinions are my own, quick and not guaranteed! Link: https://t.co/RCuuupiRCt
It's #OPACFriday. Librarians, send me your library catalog and I'll post five concrete interface suggestions! (But probably not until tonight; I'm super busy!)
@Ashimema @MacDonnellMark @waharnum @PartnershipJ @kohails @EvergreenILS Cool. If you don't mind, I'm gonna do a full #OPACFriday deep dive on it.
@akamarkman @TinyCat_lib @biblioiain And that's it for me! Overall, @bibliocommons is good stuff, in a world of terrible stuff. Congratulations on the launch. I'm sure your patrons will love it! #OPACFriday
@crhallberg 7/5 I'm terrible at compliments, but here's some strengths: (1) It works (2) It's fast (3) Faceting is good (4) working searchbox everywhere (5) I didn't do a full mobile test, but it shrinks very nicely (6) I LOVE using > not -- in LCSH (7) Map feature is good #OPACFriday
@crhallberg 5/5 Back to UI, this is good example of too much going on, and too shouty. Just have a link that says "Add the first tag" or "Add a tag" or "No tags. Add one." #OPACFriday
@crhallberg 4/5 I love that you have fake covers (above) with the title and author on them, not just "no cover." But improvements can be made in readability and attractiveness. These covers (below) come standard with Syndetics Unbound. #OPACfriday
@crhallberg 3/5 Get rid of tabs. Our stats dataโacross hundreds of libraries using LTFL and Syndetics Unboundโshows that putting content under tabs cuts use by at least 75%! Look at sites like Amazon; people prefer to scroll today, they don't want to click about to see stuff. #OPACfriday
@crhallberg 2/5 So much can simply be removed, clearing away mental space. For starters: search highlighting; numbers by checkboxes; 3 repetitions of the search string; all those trailing /s; words like "showing" and "results"; combine call number and location without either word #OPACFriday
@crhallberg 1/5 There are a lot of things that almost align, and probably should align, but don't. Little design things add to a sense of disorderโthey add mental static. #OPACFriday
It's #OPACFriday. Librarians, send me your library catalog and I'll post five concrete interface suggestions!
