streamlined

image to reduce visual
clutter
Number, sort options & top facets

Fewer pop-up windows
When you click on an option in the
brief results, the information opens
within the results screen rather
than taking you to a new window
Online links and physical locations
available from the brief display
If something is both online and in
print, users can see tabs for view
online, for requesting
(holds/recalls) and for locations
If there are multiple URLs in the
catalogue record, all URLs will
display to the user
OPAC via Primo (OvP): seamless
interface experience
Users can click on the request tab
on the brief display to see the
request options (based on our
TRELLIS configurations)
Holds and recalls are placed within
the Primo screen; any other
requests are done through a
TRELLIS screen
Item level information &
requesting
On the locations tab users can see the
location & availability or can view the
holdings statement and see each item
by expanding the location.
When signed in the user will see
request options relevant to their
account and to the item.
E-shelf, queries & my account
Tabbed display to better separate
the three areas related to the user
