As you may or may not know, with the way the server sites are set up, I don't have a lot of direct control over GIL@GPC and one of the things I have no access to is the general design and layout. However, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't send me suggestions. I do have a man on the inside, who, while very busy, has been gracious enough to make some changes for me that I think you'll all be very happy with.
1.) On the Exact Search page, we now have a little extra clarification for the title and author searches, about last name first name and dropping initial articles. I notice that it's all in bold though, and I'm wondering if it would read better if only the index name (i.e. "Title," "Journal Title," etc.) were in bold. Let me know what you think.
2.) When you have a failed search and get the "No matches were found in this catalog" message, we've now got a note about dropping initial articles and the bullet point about asking a librarian for help is actually hyperlinked to the Ask a Librarian page.
Of course, we'll be getting a brand new OPAC with our Voyager 7 upgrade, which I have every reason to believe is coming up in December, but I'll try to make sure that these tweaks carry over.
