Only two items have been illustrated. One is searching the library holdings, and the other is obtaining information about library hours of operation. The sample searches, by author, subject, and title, follow a relatively uniform method. The current system allows for very little modification of searches, and beginning a new search is awkward. These samples are intended to show how modification of the current procedure into one more closely resembling an Internet search engine might improve service. The Library Services link is active only inasmuch as to provide a link from a final search page; no service links are currently functioning.
The change in finding library hours is a relatively straightforward one. Currently, libraries may be looked up by name, and their hours of operation gotten by link. This modification introduces an image map as well as an alphabetical listing of libraries and collections, and hours may be gotten from either source. The chief advantage of this is that the map gives the physical location of the library building as well as its times of operation.
