Too fussy
On the help desks I sometimes have to do a dummy run when helping a student before then saying "ok this is what I did to get there", because I am not sure myself

This is unnecessary.]]> 2018-03-27 10:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sukik51/tmxss88gzded/wish/246416448 Openng Hours Page https://padlet.com/sukik51/tmxss88gzded/wish/246416739 Not easy to follow. Needs to be clearer

See welcome page compared to What's on page,  and Libguide platforms]]> 2018-03-27 10:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sukik51/tmxss88gzded/wish/246417121 https://padlet.com/sukik51/tmxss88gzded/wish/246418604 also like the Warwick and Worcester sites for their simplicity and clearness


]]> 2018-03-27 10:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sukik51/tmxss88gzded/wish/246418604 Agree that it would be better if - rather than lists of possibilities which may or may not turn out to lead to the relevant page - the Home Page was clear and simple, and options were phrased in a user-focused way. What are the 'Jobs to be Done?' i.e. 'I need help with...' and then options such as 'finding information for my essay/dissertation', 'using the library - on campus', 'using the library - at a distance', 'booking a study space' etc. https://padlet.com/sukik51/tmxss88gzded/wish/248611753 2018-04-04 17:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/sukik51/tmxss88gzded/wish/248611753
