For the first time, I am not thrilled with the library website's update. Frankly, the look of the new Francis results page appears on my computer to be cluttered and confusing (I'm using Safari on a Mac). I don't really see the value of the "cart" feature, and while the graphics are oversized, the font of the actually relevant information is almost too small. I'm not sure about having to click through several tabs to see publication information, call number, etc. But perhaps that is simply solved by clicking to the "Full Record."
I have faith that there are elements of the new look that I have not yet discovered to be useful and an improvement. But some of the changes do seem like unnecessary complications to me.
