June 2023 Catalog Enhancement: HPL

 

Welcome to the Improved HPL Catalog

We have made some changes to our catalog so that everything you are looking for is easier to find. This guide identifies the small but impactful changes made to improve your searching and browsing experience.

New Features Include:

   The more modern look & feel of the catalog resembles layouts of other websites you may visit so that searching our materials and resources is a smoother and more natural process.

   Larger fonts and better color contrast provides a more accessible experience for browsing.

   Maximizing the catalog to the full-page width helps to browse content, especially on the new book carousels, easier and faster.

   The left-hand filters have been reorganized so that the filters most frequently used by our customers are higher, and the less used (but still useful!) filters are lower to streamline the searching process

   Filters are more simplified; some that were duplicating the work of multiple filters at once have been removed to give you more power to search for exactly what you want.

   Some filters have been renamed to be more user-friendly, and the filter for Author has been added.

   Search Tabs have been added to help you switch your search between our most commonly used categories.

   The Kids Catalog link has been moved to [ ] so that Kids can still have a fun way to search for materials that they want.

   Flip Kits, Game Boxes, and Specialty Cake Pans are added to the new Library of Things landing page to help you find them more easily. Stay tuned to see how we expand the Library of Things in the future!

 

Please enjoy the new browse & borrow experience of our catalog and provide any helpful feedback using the Ask HPL service!
