why would a world class research institutuion go down the path of 'industry standard '- google is rarely used for academic research- the catalog search changes are a backward step.

I just read many complaints about catalog changes - I am interested to kinow who was on focus groups and how many. Were there aany professionals such as the librarians.

Thank goodness you have the automatic loans reminder service (circulation e-mails). This saves me a lot of overdue fees and is a great service. Thanks

I dont like this preference for 'keyword' on your search engine. It is rather silly to claim that 'industry standard' is the reason you have decided to change something which clearly is upsetting so many of us. Why not admit defeat and change it back? If, as you say, the options are all there, why not just make the default one that people prefer, rather than your mythical 'industry standard'?

Dear librarian, I cannot find the logout ion to log myself off the system. It used to be there but don't see it anymore. Cheers

I have tried to renew (for the first time) some borrowed items but the system did not allow me to. Could you please inform me how many times a postgraduate student can renew a book? Thank you. Regards,P

I do not like the changes made to the catalogue search system on the library's web page. It seems that the default setting is to search for "keyword", a setting it defualts to after each search is undertaken. Maybe this is just an early teething problem, but at the moment it seems ineffecient.

Hi, A link in the catalogue from The Aeneid / [Sound Recording] / Translated By Cecil Day Lewis ; Introduced By R.D. Williams. 1977 is presently taking one directly to Journal of urban affairs [electronic resource] instead of to Virgil!!
PS Quite a few of the Virgil links in the catalogue seem to take one to quite irrelevant items. I did an author search on Virgil, but don't seem to get anywhere near ancient Rome from that page!
