New Face of CLICnet

We will be seeing a lot of interest in the new face of CLICnet as it was officially "unveiled" this week. This new look is very different than what is now fondly called “Classic CLICnet.” The information the catalog providres, and will continue to provide, is unchanged.

For the foreseeable future, and perhaps longer, Classic CLICnet will be available both as an option from the library home page and as a link within the new interface.

Many libraries are coming to terms with the fact that web search engines (like Google or Bing) are now the standard by which practically all "search" is being done online. These new library interfaces are not designed to replace current library catalogs at all, but to overlay them – we hope providing a richer environment for resource discovery of the same underlying data.

Below is a link to a preliminary video introducing this new face of CLICnet. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated!!
