• improved Google search has recently been implemented on the whole Middlebury site, which has already made searching for LIS content much easier

• a revised structure for the LIS Help & Support web pages

• improved directory search results, so search “by department” displays the job titles for all members of the department. For example, the listing for all LIS staff

• site banners that currently say “Library and Information Services” will soon display additional text for clearer branding of the different LIS website sections

• quick links navigation items are now standardized across all parts of the LIS web presence

• better color use in the “leaf” color theme for improved legibility

• templates for the LIS blog that align with the Drupal site, with new design options for the LIS wiki in progress

• on-page search boxes for pages that include sub-page lists is now labeled “Find on this page:” to distinguish from site-wide search boxes

• added links to check ILL requests in My MIDCAT

• a simpler format for pages that link to multiple forms for clearer and easier navigation. For example: Collection Management Forms

Remember, there’s also an option for anyone to report issues with a page using the Problems with this Page? button, and you can get in touch with LIS Content Managers by finding them at go/liscm.

What’s next? We’re moving on from following-up on the old recommendations to working on marketing strategies for the site, and soon afterward, another round of testing, likely in the form of a user needs analysis and more usability testing. Feel free to send us feedback any time. Thanks!
